This blog is rapidly approaching its 5th anniversary. It’s hard for me to believe that it’s been that long. This is the third different software platform I’ve used, staring with Blogger, then TypePad, and finally WordPress. I have gone through numerous design changes and used different hosting companies. I’ve even changed law firms. I’m proud to say, though, that I’ve more or less been able to preserve my original concept: information about legislation and court cases in California, with original reporting from time to time. Instead of just stenography, I’ve provided analysis; yet, I believe I have provided that analysis without delving too far into politics or favoring one side of the bar too much over the other.
I’m also proud to say that this site was the first one to focus on issues of California’s specific employment law world. In fact, this is one of the earliest legal blogs period. Before I began this site, I did legal blogging back almost 10 years ago when people first started transitioning from directly editing webpages to using software to keep “logs.”
Despite that long history, this site has always been about the issues. I only put up advertisements very briefly, and this has never been primarily about marketing my services. That is something that is even more rare in the blogging world, and I would say it correlates more directly to age. The people who have been doing this the longest seem to be the most likely to be doing it for its own sake instead of trying to keep up with the latest way to market overheard at a CLE conference on seen on TV.
Thanks for reading. I have no plans to change the core mission of this site or to stop doing this any time soon.
However, I do have plans for a companion site in the works. We’ll see.
