Just a nod of the head on a job well done to Marcia Oddi at the Indiana Law Blog (www.IndianaLawBlog.com) who received a noteworthy comment in today's Indiana edition of the Courier-Journal. Plus a lil' applause.
Leslie Stedman Weidenbener posted a story on political blogs for Hossiers, and noted Marcia's blog:
"www.indianalawblog.com
This is by far the least political of blogs on this list, but it's noteworthy nonetheless. Author Marcia Oddi is an Indianapolis regulatory lawyer who used to work for state government. She tracks key decisions from the courts and links to television, radio and newspaper stories about government and legal issues. The blog provides a great roundup of government issues statewide. "
Here's the link to the rest of the story, and Marcia's posting thereon which contains a useful link on how to read and access a blog!!!
Lesley Stedman Weidenbener of the Louisville Courier Journal devotes her Sunday column to "A few blogs for political junkies to check out." The Indiana Law Blog is mentioned, described (accurately) as "the least political blog" on the list, and as "a great roundup of government issues statewide."
For those of you new to blogs, I recommend my entry, "How to Read a Blog." Access it here. It begins:
The first time I looked at a web log ("blog") I was totally confused. Even after some time of reading blogs, I did not know all the ins and outs. I still may not know all the tricks, but I hope the following will be of help to many of you.
And a small apology to Marcia - I have been calling her "Marci" rather than her real name "Marcia" in emails to her and postings on this blog for the past year, and she has been so incredibly gracious by never even mentioning my transgression (based upon my poor eyesight and small print). This time a quiet thank you to a gracious lady and writer. She is more than a 'blogger' but a legal journalist, a lawyer, and a good person.
ADDENDUM: I would like to add that Marcia does an outstanding job at her site in a jurisdiction which covers more law, more courts, and more stuff than Kentucky. She has apparently gone 'apolitical' on the commentary and is one of the few journalists who walk the talk of being 'fair and balanced.'
