Interesting series of articles in the Chronicle of Higher Education on The Hazards of Academic Blogging, including two by Law Profs (and participants in our recent Bloggership Symposium at Harvard Law School):

• Exposed in the Blogosphere, by Ann Althouse
• The Politics of Academic Appointments, by Glenn Reynolds

Glenn comments on InstaPundit that "I’m sorry to see some people say that their Deans don’t appreciate blogging — my Dean has been very encouraging, and in fact says that he thinks it counts as scholarship, which surely makes me — on a word-count basis, at least — one of the most productive scholars around."  Ann Bartow takes umbrage at this on Feminst Law Professors.
