I’ve been back from BlawgThink for a few days, but for various reasons, haven’t been able to post my thoughts until now. First, everything that’s already been written by my fellow BlawgThink attendees here and here and here — about the energy and the passion and vision pulsing through the conference, not to mention the plain joy of meeting other bloggers whom you’ve read and admired from afar face to face — well, it’s all true. And what I’ve taken home from BlawgThink is that same spirit of exhilaration and optimism that pervaded my first year of law practice, my early days on the web (this doesn’t even go back far enough) and my entre into blogging as I’m once again reminded of all of the promise that blogs hold for solo and small firm lawyers and the entire legal profession.
So now that I’ve had time to Blawg-think about all of these possibilities, it’s time for me to Blawg-do. I’ve spent this evening (see how late I’m posting?) playing around with wikis and getting familiarized with Mind Manager so that I can put on cool presentations like this one. I am going to finally figure out how to podcast and develop an approach to assess the "return on blogging." And I want to use these tools to help solo and small firm lawyers improve our practices, increase our revenues and better serve our clients.
Thanks so much, Matt Homann and Dennis Kennedy for another fabulous conference that has rekindled my excitement for blogging all over again.
Hi Carolyn,
I enjoyed your thoughts in the panel at BlawgThink. It is heartening to know that there are people out there trying to help the solos (some of my best friends are…).
I tried the link to the intor to blogging map and couldn’t get it to work either. I have asked one of our technical guys to look at the link and see what’s up. Thanks for the kind words about MindManager and let me know if you need any tips and tricks! :o)
