Is blogging for every lawyer?

No.

It’s just that simple.  How do I know?  I’m really not that good at it.  It takes me a long time to sort out what to write about and how to write it (like not ending a sentence with a preposition).  Maybe I’m dense, but I’m fairly certain that I can do more productive work than hunch over my keyboard for 30 minutes writing a one paragraph, not so interesting blog post.

Of course, the blog experts will tell you how wrong I am and how much money rolls in because of their blogs.  To me, it’s like Tiger Woods saying “of course you can hit a 350 yard drive, all you need to do is strike the ball like this....”

Now, I would encourage everyone to try blogging.  It shouldn’t be that expensive or time consuming.  As long as you give it a fair and honest shot, you’ll know within a few months whether it’s right for you.
