Baltimore Sun Mobbies Logo

technola has been nominated for The Mobbies 2010, a competition for outstanding Maryland blogs and bloggers. If you are a registered Baltimore Sun user or interested in becoming one, your vote would be appreciated.

And if you're voting, I encourage you to vote for the Maryland Legal Aid Newsroom, too. This blog is published by the Maryland Legal Aid Bureau and is a good example to look at if your legal aid or pro bono program is interested in launching a blog.

You should also take a look at several other worthy law and nonprofit blogs that have been nominated.

Whether your organization is blogging or thinking about blogging, you should come away with a few ideas that you can use to make your blog better. (And if you're not thinking of blogging, perhaps looking at these blogs will make you start!) - K

National Pro Bono Celebration Blogging Round Up (Part 7)

Posted on November 5, 2010 by Kate Bladow

This is the last National Pro Bono Celebration Blogging Round Up. Seventy-eight posts were published by 46 people, who signed up to publish a post recognizing providers of pro bono legal services during the National Pro Bono Celebration. This last list of posts includes those published from Friday, October 30 through today, November 5.

Bloggers who didn't sign the pledge also published quite a few posts about the Celebration. A total of 33 bloggers drafted 46 posts. Those posted between last Friday and today include the following:

The National Pro Bono Celebration and "pro bono" were even highlighted in the Blawg Review #288 on Paul B. Kennedy's The Defense Rests.

Thank you to everyone who participated. You created an inspiring slate of posts. If you missed any of them, you can go back and read the previous National Pro Bono Celebration Blogging Round Ups:  Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, and Part 6.

And if you are sad to see the end of these round ups, you're in luck. The UK National Pro Bono Week starts on Monday, November 8 and runs through November 12, and their bloggers are warming up, so you should have several blog posts from their celebration to read.  - K
