I suppose it comes down to whether your blog is intended to support your practice or become a business in its own right. A blawg need not become something to dedicate all your time to and to the exclusion of your practice. It is a matter of perspective, I think.

Chuck, do you also get upset when people say that their phone is ringing?

Carolyn, don’t feel bad. My blog post was not aimed at you. I was not thinking about your blog when I wrote it. I actually like your blog and I read almost every post. I just had a moment where I got tired of lawyers using the term “hanging out my own shingle”. I thougt the term comes with a lot of connotations that my philosophy of practice does not support. You are trying to redefine the connotations that hanging out a “shingle” represents and I appreciate that. It is hard to blog anything without offending someone you did not expect or intend to offend. Now, don’t tell me that you are not trendy. After all you run your own very active blog. You are on the forefront of fee issues. If we could get attorney’s who wish to open their own solo practices to think in terms of technology, earnings and blogging instead of offices, cashflow and advertising, then these attorneys would do better, and we would all be better for it. Your the best. /s/ Chuck Newton
