You’ve heard the "dos" that we have learned from the YLB’s first year. Now, here are the “don'ts”:
-
Don’t be too specific about experiences, clients or colleagues. Did you see the article we wrote about the guy upstairs? Nope. It was removed (or was it disguised?).
-
Don’t use graphics unless you have permission—our Intellectual Property colleagues got us on this one.
-
Don’t forget about the good! We have tried to highlight stories we hear about lawyers doing good things. Not surprisingly, these stories get far less attention than the opposite. See our stories here and here.
-
Don’t let your colleagues forget about you. One of our “dos” was to get as many people involved as possible in writing articles. An easy way to do this is to keep reminding them of the blog—it is easy for people to forget that their articles and materials can be turned into a post.
And one final thought, we love comments! Even when the commentators don’t, ahem, love us!
Here’s to the Second Year!
