Just spent the last two days at the State Bar of Texas Annual Meeting. For those who might not know, the “State Bar” is the organization for attorneys … not a place to get beer. So anyway, a lot of the sessions were about the effect of social media on the law. Got to thinking about a couple years back and all of my Baptist blogging. I’d stopped writing not out of a lack of interest in blogging, but rather the focus on planning a wedding somehow pushed the Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting to the back burner. (yeah, I know, crazy huh?)
So I was thinking back to the good ‘ol days of Baptist blogging, or sometimes the cutthroat nature of the creature in general, and realized I had sufficient training to be a blogging lawyer as well. Not a whole lot different really. The key focus of social media as a law blogger is to add value and not drivel. Well that can sometimes be a subjective matter, but I will do my best to fall on the value side of the spectrum.
However, I also understand that the few readers I do currently have who stuck around waiting for me to get back to blogging are not necessarily interested in legal things. (I’m not saying they are interested in illegal things either … but you never know).
So I’m going to try my hand at two blogs again. I think at one point I tried to run four which was just plain silly. But I think two is manageable. However, considering the fact I am married, I doubt I will get daily posts on each at all times. With this blog I’m planning to focus on more general matters and not the legal ones. Therefore family and friends that like more writing from me just about life and my interests can stick around here. Those who want to follow my attempt at a law blog, should also read Wise Counsel. Yes, the title is more of an aspiration than a promise. But it never hurts to strive for excellence.
