I've resisted blogging/Twitter/Google Plus for years but it's finally time. Now that I've set up my law practice I see the need to broadcast a bit more, improve my writing and tell people what I'm up to.
Writing here also fulfills three or four of these ten tips for success from one of my favourite blogs, BoingBoing.

Twitter's a bit too ephemeral a medium for me.
Google+ may or may not be around in a few years.
Blogging on my own server provides a decent platform (that I can change) and likely a bit of extra SEO for my law practice.
A later post explains how this site was created.
