Westmoreland Bar Association Takes a Technological Step Forward...

On the heels of the new WBA website, the WBA Technology Committee is excited to formally announce the launch of the WBA Blog.
The term "blog" (sometimes referred to as a "blawg" in the legal world) is short for "web log." In its most simple form, a blog is an online space, authored by one or more people, with regular entries or "posts." These posts can include articles, observations, invitations to events, and other material, such as photos or videos.
The WBA Blog was quietly started in early 2008 as a casual information space for members of the bar. Since then, the Blog has collected legal and somewhat legal-related content of all shapes and sizes.
Regular posts include articles from law-related websites, technology tips, legislative alerts, and reminders for WBA events. Comment sections, supervised by Blog authors L. Anthony Bompiani and Michael V. Quatrini, offer readers a space for observations on each particular article. The Blog archives each post under a specific topic so users can easily research past articles. Readers can also set up direct delivery of the Blog to their Microsoft Outlook or Internet Explorer homepage.
The new online space gives the WBA a heightened online presence and provides a new level of information and interaction.
