What not to Put on Your Blog
Chuck Newton has a great post today called “Avoid Staid Old Images”. He has a list of items to avoid.
- Gavels
- Eagles
- Courtrooms
- Courthouse Steps
- The Scales O’ Justice
- Piles of Law Books
- Nautical Themed Stuff (unless you’re an admiralty lawyer)
- Compasses
- Groups of Middle-Aged White Lawyers in Suits
I could not agree more. Blogging is not your grandfathers marketing. Don’t treat it like it is. The public does not need nor want to see the same old “stuff” on a lawyer‘s ads. Do something different with your blog.

Stock Exchange - http://www.sxc.hu/index.phtml - offers free photos for use, with registration. I’ve used some of these for my blog and website. Many have no restrictions, but some have restrictions requiring acknowledgment of the photographer. The site lets you search by keyword, making finding a photo pretty easy.
