I'm afraid that I'm not sure what the source of the problem is, since I can't duplicate it.

Now just one more question: can you take a look at the feed for SW Virginia law blog? I'm not getting the title of the posts there in the feed, just the name of the blog. Thanks! Thanks Waldo.

May your links return 404s, may your comments dry up like a desert, and may your server become a Republican! Damn you Waldo.

My head is spinning both literally (I haven't kicked this illness yet; its defining symptom for the past two days has been an overwhelming dizziness) and figuratively, with all of the blogs I pawed through last night in compiling this list. Frankly, I'm surprised I remembered to include my own blog. D'oh. I just realized I forgot one of my blogs. See?
