MOJ matters

A few items of possible interest to MOJ readers, and a favor:  First, my colleagues who understand how to acquire such information have informed me that we are closing in on our one-millionth reader-hit, and also on our 5,000th post.  Celebration and self-congratulation -- and also reflection, examination, and critique -- seem to be in order.  In the days to come, we'll be posting some thoughts about the MOJ project so far.  Have we asked the right questions?  Have we answered any?

This point leads me to my second, shameless item:  Please tell your friends -- go ahead, do it now -- about MOJ.  E-mail the lawyers and law-students in your life -- how about now? -- and invite them to join the conversation.  In particular, it seems worth observing that many of us are about to meet a few hundred new first-year law students.  What a shame if they didn't all hear about MOJ!

Finally, another favor:  For the last four years, we've been chugging along with pretty much the same web-site appearance.  Now, none of us is particularly blog-design savvy, but some of us have been thinking that the appearance (color, font, lay-out, etc.) could, maybe, use a bit of sprucing up.  So . . . any ideas?
