Electronic Frontier Foundation has created a legal guide, compiling a number of FAQs designed to help you understand your rights and, if necessary, defend your freedom of speech.
The guide cautions that it is not a substitute for, nor does it constitute, legal advice. It is merely a basic roadmap to the legal issues you may confront as a blogger, to let you know you have rights, and to encourage you to blog freely with the knowledge that your legitimate speech is protected.
EFF is a small, grassroots legal advocacy nonprofit supported by member contributions. They provide pro bono (free) legal assistance in cases where they believe they can help shape the law. They have a relatively small number of very hard-working attorneys, so they do not have the resources to defend everyone who asks, no matter how deserving. If they cannot assist you, they will make every effort to put you in touch with attorneys who can. If you're in trouble, you can contact them at information@eff.org.
It is comforting to know that someone is still looking out for the little guy.
