I realize that Joe handles the bulk of the posting and I just jump in now and then. Although, what you don't realize is that I am typically adding content to the comments anonymously. Real content. I'm not adding "first." I'm not speculating on the plastic surgeries of any judges. I'm not rehashing the same gossip that went on a year ago.
A lot of people are bitching that the site has lost its edge. But, here's what you need to remember - you have attorneys who are writing the content. As our workloads ebb and flow, so will our ability to post. You may notice that there aren't ads on the site. This is an unpaid position. I'm not here all of the time because I can't be. I have clients, just like you have clients. (Except the law students who read the blog.)
In recent months, readers have stated that the blog has jumped the shark, but I want to make a note about the comments. What in the hell is happening in the comments? (Anonymous said? Come on, now.)
This used to be a site where people could discuss legal gossip and the legal community. We discussed jobs, salaries, billing requirements, judges, etc. For a taste of the current comments, scroll through the Thanksgiving Open Thread. It isn't as simple as the post content changing. The readers and comments are also changing the dynamic.
Here you go. Here's your forum. Here's your open thread to discuss the state of the blog.
As always, you can email actual tips to ewoodsesq@gmail.com.
