When I was in high school, my dad worked for an insurance company who's advertising tag line was "Ask Me". At the time I didn't think it was very clever at all.
However, it is perfect for this post. Ask your insurance or actuarial question by answering this post with a comment. I'll either reply to your comment with an answer or make a blog post out of the answer, if the topic is more extensive.
So please "Ask Me". I'd be happy to help.

Hi, thanks for your post :)
I have some co-op experience in P&C Consulting, but I've taken a year off from the field. I'm not studying for exams right now but I'd like to continue to expand my knowledge of the P&C insurance industry. I know it's a huge field, but where can I start reading? Can you recommend any blogs, newsletter subscriptions, etc etc?
Thanks for any help,

If you are not taking actuarial exams right now and don't plan to start, you might get general education and some specific training at AICPCU.org. Their most well known credential is the Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU) credential, but they also have a variety of "Associate in" credentials in a variety of insurance operations fields.
Additionally, reading periodicals such as National Underwriter and AM Best (you can subscribe to daily emails, I think. I don't know if you have to take a print subscription to get them.) If you can't get the daily emails, the magazines may be available at your library or make friends with an insurance agent that reads them!
One blog with insurance issues is Sam's Blog at www.property-casualty.com. I find his views interesting and the comments illuminating.
One final note - Another credential that I just discovered that might be of interest to Actuaries and insurance personnel is the Project Management Professional (PMP) or its lesser cousin the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)offered by the PMI.org. With so much work project oriented and so much of it failing to make the grade, a organized approach to project management might be a great career choice.
