Sorry if I sounded like I was being too critical of you or flaming you in last comment. Giving life to a new baby is hard and I sometimes become overly sensitive.

One comment I should add is that lexBlog’s product is a far cry from the standard stock newsletters and the like that lawyers, accountants and other professionals have used for years. I never liked them and never used them in 17 years of practice. We’re offering lawyers a turnkey Internet marketing and publishing solution that allows lawyers to publish content to the Internet on a dynamite looking interface. If they want helpful content to supplement their blog offerings, great, we’ll license it to them.

I had one of the better lawyer Web sites from 1996 to 1998. It was chockfull of helpful content, both produced by us and licensed from Nolo Press. We allowed interaction via message boards and an ‘ask a lawyer’ we did by email. The public was extremely appreciative, we got lot’s of media exposure because of the degree of care we exhibited and generated a lot of new business. We built relationships with people without ever meeting them. These folks and others then felt comfortable approaching us.

With the Internet company I started and at lawyers.com after it’s acquisition I learned more about effective Internet marketing for lawyers. My goal with lexBlog is to share that know how and experience with good lawyers. I ain’t going to do it with a product akin to stock newsletters.

To date most lawyer Web sites really suck – they are firm centric focused on how great the lawyers are. They offer nothing of help to people. Lawyers do not add content as they do not know how to do html coding so one gets no feel as to who the lawyer is – they appear to be just another stuffed shirt whom people do not trust. In addition the sites allow no interaction, the hallmark of the Internet. The product from lexBlog empowers lawyers to do effective Internet marketing – they get the tools and continuing education and support from me and my team to do a job far superior than 90+% of the lawyers out there.

Craig Williams blog site works to generate business because he has learned what works on the Internet. Some lawyers are going to need a lot of help to get that far – heck if they even get close through lexBlog’s assistance they’ll have achieved a lot.

Not sure why, but lexBlog is being defined on this blog as something it is not by someone who does not have a track record of successfully marketing a law practice on the Internet.

By the way Craig, thanks for your email congratulating me on what we are doing at lexBlog and your comments about lexBlog being a great idea and beneficial to lawyers.
