I’m busy. Here’s what I’ve been working on:
-Over the past 2 weeks this site has been totally redesigned. I selected a new wordpress theme for the site, changed the banner, and have made numerous technical changes under the hood of this site. I’ve added a bunch of plugins that should make this site more user friendly for you. Some of which you’ll notice like the suggested posts that appear below every post and some of which you won’t.
-One of the changes that I’ve made is that this site is now much more easily viewed on your mobile device. More and more of my web traffic is coming from mobile devices of all sorts including the iPhone, Blackberrys and Android devices.
-If you have a subscription check out Christian Nolan’s article in the CT Law Tribune “Connecticut Bloggers Among The Best”. I’m in it along with Gideon, Dan Schwartz and Adrian Baron. It’s a very nice article about blogging.
-Things are moving forward with the ABA Journal. Last spring, I was contacted by the ABA to do video tech reviews. I jumped at the opportunity. Lots of exciting things are going on with the ABA Journal and I’m excited to be a part of their team. Look for some reviews both on this site and on their site in the near future. Look for more video blogging on this site in the near future.
-This site is now available on your kindle. Search for “A Connecticut Law Blog”. I saw the site on my wife’s kindle and it looks awesome. I’m not sure it’s worth the $1.99 a month fee that Amazon charges but what I’m there if you’re interested.
-Also coming in the new year, I’m going to be partnering with a network of CT blogs. This is a very exciting opportunity for me. It will expose this site to new audiences while bringing my readers to interesting and insightful content. I’m very excited about this opportunity.
-In addition to the writing that I’ll be doing, I’m also working on Sons of Sam Horn’s 2011 Jimmy Fundraiser. Our goal is to raise a $100,000.00 to fight cancer. One of the things that I’m doing is leading up a virtual running group. So far we have 15 runners all of whom have pledged $500 to the Jimmy Fund. The goal for the new runners is a fall half marathon. I’m going to tackle a marathon next fall.
-Of course it’s a very busy time of the year to be practicing law. I’m doing that too. Yesterday I was in juvenile court in the morning representing a grandparent, then in civil court in the afternoon representing a judgement creditor in a foreclosure case. In between I was involved in 4 real estate transactions, setting up 2 LLCs, and writing and negotiating 2 commercial leases. Tomorrow, it’s a deposition and Thursday I’m in court representing 3 subcontractors on a multi million dollar foreclosure case that’s headed for the complex lit docket.
–You can read about the last time I wrote about being busy here. At the time, I didn’t listen to WNPR or McEnroe’s show. Since then I cancelled Sirius and am a WNPR fanboy.
Colin McEnroe, please, please, do a show about our obsession with lawns and green alternatives. Please. Or else, I’l start suggesting you do a much more boring show about CT’s Legal Bloggers being Among the Best.
