For the month of March, I am going to highlight blogs that I think are interesting and useful. Some may not be directly related to personal injury or Social Security disability law, but all of us who represent injured and disabled people occasionally need help in other areas. A few have been featured here before, but they keep getting better. Today’s entry in March of the Blogs:
Steve Matthews keeps a lot of irons in the fire. He writes the Law Firm Web Strategy Blog and the Vancouver Law Librarian Blog, as well as running Stem Legal and contributing to the Canadian legal blog Slaw.
The Law Firm Web Strategy Blog is exactly what it sounds like – articles about all aspects of marketing law firms on the Internet. The blog describes itself as being “…about web innovation in the legal space and making the connection to law firm business interests.” This is the list of Categories from the blog:
- Law Blogs
- Social Networks
- Law Firm SEO
- Brand Building
- Stem Stuff
- Uncategorized
- Law Firm Websites
- Legal Web Demographics
- Content Marketing
- Legal Marketing
- Law Firm RSS
- Legal Technology
- LegalWeb2.0
I really like the tag line of the Vancouver Law Librarian Blog: Points of interest to the West Coast Law Librarian. Highlighted sources on KM, Web Development, and Law Library Management…. And hey, if it’s got a Vancouver perspective, that’ll work too. 🙂
Stem Legal was started in August 2007 by Steve. Before that, from 1998 to 2007, he was the Knowledge Services Director at Clark Wilson LLP in Vancouver, and the driving force behind the firm’s Web strategy, including concept development, design, coding, web marketing and SEO operations. The vision behind Stem is to offer an outsourced service for law firms to increase online profile and web-driven business opportunities. Their tactics “…range from Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and link building campaigns to audience profiling and content development strategies.”
As for Slaw, it’s a blog about anything that’s both Canadian and law-related. There’s a ton of material to read at each of Steve’s sites. Check them all.
March of the Blogs has been fun for me to put together. There are many, many good legal blogs that I didn’t have room to include. I’ll sprinkle some in from time to time, as I always have. And maybe I’ll have the energy to do another March of the Blogs in 2010. Stay tuned…
