Meet The New China Law Blog, Same As The Old....

By Dan Harris and Steve Dickinson

Though we have been in existence for about four and a half years now, we have never written a post focused on just us.  That has been by design. We figure you come here to read about China, not about CLB.   

But I cannot resist this just once.

As many of you have no doubt noticed, we have a new look. Our new look is more than skin deep. We have switched our hosting provider from Living Dot to LexBlog. Living Dot has done an unfailingly excellent job for us and I truly cannot recommend them highly enough.

So why then, did we switch?

We switched for the sole reason that we wanted to be with a blog host that focuses exclusively on legal blogs and that provides soup to nuts oversight/care for its legal blog clients. Once we made the difficult decision on needing a legal blogging specialist, our choosing LexBlog was a complete piece of cake. LexBlog is by far the biggest of the legal blogging companies and it is the best. I have been friends with its owner, Kevin O'Keefe, for years, and nobody knows legal blogging as well as he does. Nobody.  

I am delighted with the updates and design changes LexBlog did for us. I am particularly pleased with our "new" About page, which consists mostly of our very first post in which we set out our mission. I am proud of how we have never changed it and have rarely veered from it.   

I also like how we were able to add a link button to the China Law Blog LinkedIn Group. That group rapidly became the largest China law group on Linkedin but I am never going to stop flogging for more. If you have not yet joined, please click the link at the top of the page and do so. The more who join, the better it will be.

Bottom Line: Our look has changed (a bit), but our Mission remains the same.

What do you think?
