I view the term "blawg" as more of an insider joke than the proper name. I write a legal blog, but I do not normally use the term "Blawg" outside of conversations with other legal bloggers.

Indeed, I prefer to use the term “blawg” to explain it and when it appears in the name of some site/blog I am citing. Otherwise, I use “lawyer blogs” or “law-related blogs”. The reason is that it better says what it really is, I think, i.e. a blog related to law or made by a lawyer in his capacity of a lawyer, e.g. not about his pet or hobby or whatever. I think it's a simple matter of communication with the target audience and I don't make a big issue about it. I don't care which word is used, as long as it is clear what person A is communicating to person B. But I think in communicating with non-lawyers , or with non-tech savvy lawyers for that matter, it just makes more sense to talk about a "law related website, lawblog, ..." instead of "blawg". Frankly, even using the word "blog" is often complicating things. So, use whatever you want, but "keep it simple" for your target audience ;-)) First, thanks for the comments on the article.
