6 Years, 1800 Posts and How the World Has Changed

Not a lot has changed with Jottings By An Employer's Lawyer since my first post 6 years ago today. 1,800 posts later, I still post on blogspot, I still use the free version of blogger, and I still use an outmoded and limited version of blogroll.

But one thing that has definitely changed are the people who have joined me in this small, but hopefully interesting part of the blogosphere.

Listed below are the blogs in the area that have made their way to my RSS reader. I have listed their first post that I could find, although I am fairly certain that I didn't get the very first post of everyone. Still it's an interesting exercise to check them out now as well as their early posts.

A few of the blogs are worthy of special comment. George Lenard at George's Employment Blawg and Michael Fitzgibbons at Thoughts From a Management Labor Lawyer have been at this nearly as long as me.

Paul Secunda and Richard Bales took over the Workplace Prof Blog from its founder Rafael Gely, and now have added some additional colleagues and provide daily posting of an extremely high level. Also from the academic world, Ross Runkel has the Arbitration Law and Employment Law blogs and some other publications that are notable.

Paul Mollica at Daily Developments in EEO Law is joining me this fall as the only other active blogger (that I know of) in the College of Labor and Employment Lawyers.

Although I think I have only met one of the bloggers listed below, Chris McKinney of HR Lawyers Blog, who is in San Antonio, just down the road from me, and have corresponded with only a handful more, I feel a common bond with everyone who chooses to share their viewpoint on a regular basis. Hopefully, our collective effort has made a difference. I know that I have learned a lot.

If you haven't checked out my colleagues, please do so.

I am sure that there are other blogs in this area that I have missed, as well as getting any number of "first" posts wrong. Please feel free to make additions and point out corrections in the comments.

As always, thanks for stopping by.

Updated: As I get additions, corrections within the next few days they will be added into the post, since hopefully the list will be of some benefit to those looking for a collection of labor and employment law blogs.
