Blog Post Ideas

Do you find yourself wondering how some bloggers seem to come up with excellent blog post ideas on a regular basis? From time to time even the most talented writers in the blogosphere can find themselves fresh out of ideas for new posts. Here are some blog post ideas to help you get writing.

Reviews

Write a review of a product or service that you use personally or professionally. Have you recently had an exceptionally positive or negative experience with something in your office? Perhaps you’ve been really impressed with your practice management tools, a particular iphone app, or your office scanner.

Have you recently read a book, an industry magazine or publication, other blog in your niche from which you learned something new, found useful, or completely disagreed with? Thinking critically about the content you consumer can be one of the best sources for blog post ideas. Even if your post is simply a list things you learned or an inspirational or influential quote.

How-to Posts

Remember, one of the most common uses of the Internet is for research. Therefore, some of the most effective blog posts focus on providing researchers answers to their questions. As a lawyer, you have education, knowledge, and experience that is very valuable. Sharing that information through your blog with how-to posts is a great way to demonstrate your expertise and provide useful information to your audiences.

Tips for New Solo Attorneys

by RANDALL RYDER on FEBRUARY 24, 2011

In this legal economy, more and more attorneys are going solo. Some are recent graduates who are forced into hanging their own shingle. Others have ten years of legal experience at a big firm but need a change.

Regardless of your legal experience, here are some basic business tips to get things rolling.

Invest in your website

Recent studies have indicated that the consumers are increasingly likely to search for goods and services online. The good news is that creating a nice website is not as daunting as you think. If you have some tech-savvy, designing and maintaining your own site is very doable. If you elect to build your own, be sure to follow this checklist for creating your own website.

If you are willing to invest some money into your site, hiring a professional to design and maintain your site can be worth it. The upside is that you can have a really spiffy site fast. The downside is that it costs more and you may incur regular maintenance and upkeep fees.

A nice alternative is using an online service that can build an appealing site for less than a professional designer. Design experience and budget are important considerations, but make sure your site looks good.

Whatever route you choose, once your site is up and running, spend some time viewing your website through a multi-browser lens to make sure everything looks correct—not every potential client uses Chrome or Safari.

WordPress 3.2: Write More, IE Less

WordPress has released an upgrade for the popular, self-hosted blogging platform. Unlike the last few WordPress upgrades, which focused on improving developer tools, WordPress 3.2 is primarily about changes ordinary users will appreciate. The revamped admin section, for instance, offers a new “distraction-free,” full screen editor, and, as we noted earlier, this version finally drops support for Internet Explorer 6.

If you’d like to upgrade, head over to the WordPress site and download a copy of WordPress 3.2.

The theme for WordPress’ latest incarnation is “faster and lighter.” That’s reflected in new tools like the simplified admin interface, which offers a fullscreen editor mode. The fullscreen mode is modeled on the interface found in writing apps like WriteRoom or OmmWriter, where the focus is primarily the text, and not the bells and whistles on the main new post page.

Another aspect of the faster and lighter motto for WordPress 3.2 means eliminating the cruft, also known as dropping support for IE 6. That won’t of course affect your site’s visitors (unless your theme has dropped IE 6), but it does mean that the WordPress 3.2 admin won’t work in IE 6, something to keep in mind if you’re upgrading a site that has numerous admin users.

For now WordPress hasn’t dropped support for IE 7, though an early outline of what to expect in WordPress 3.2 did say that this release will also start the end-of-life cycle for Internet Explorer 7.

For a full list of the new features found in WordPress 3.2, head over to the release notes page.
