Jotting about Michael Fox

Happy 6th birthday to Michael Fox's Jottings By An Employer's Lawyer! 

Mike is a trailblazer in the field of employment law blogs. He started out in July 2002 when the rest of us were still trying to figure out what "blog" meant. Many have followed his lead by starting blogs of their own, yet his remains the best in the show. 

What makes Jottings By An Employer's Lawyer the best? Content, content, content. Mike knew from the beginning that content was king. 

While others are dressing up their blogs in fancy clothes, Mike continues to use his way-out-of date blogging platform. He has not seen the need to change. He knows people want to read what he says rather than gaze at cute graphics and color schemes. 

(On the techno side of things, I appreciate the fact that Mike sends out RSS in full. That way I can read everything in my news aggregator rather than go through another mouse-click. Some bloggers send out an RSS teaser in hopes that readers will click onto their page, which is something I rarely do.) 

As for content, Michael Fox is always current, reports with great accuracy, lets his wit show through, and never whines.

His favorite topic is MDVs - million dollar verdicts. Of course these are rare, and Mike's comments about them can be priceless.

Congratulations Michael.
