Email Subscription Notice. Email subscriptions are now on Follow.It

All email subscribers, please be aware that as of today, you'll be getting notices of email updates via Follow.It rather than through FeedBurner, which is how it used to work.

The reason for that is that Google, which owns FeedBurner, is wiping out its email subscription feature.

For some time there's been a new Email Subscription Gadget up, but the old one also was up. I don't think anyone subscribed via the new one since I had it up, but as of today, you'll have to use it if you want to be updated by email.

I've been using the Follow.It email update personally since I linked it in here and I like it. About the only difference I've really noticed that may catch you off guard at first is that it also has some news links at the bottom. Well, it would, as its own service and is free to the Blogger. It has to pay for itself somehow. Otherwise, it's at least as good, if not better, than FeedBurner was.

We hope you continue to enjoy the blog and don't dislike the new email updates. When Blogger announced that it was giving FeedBurner the ax, we considered simply giving up blogging as most of our daily visits come from people who subscribe We looked at moving this to a new blog on a different service, but decided not to do that, weighing in favor of simply giving up the blog instead. Finding this service allows us to continue on.

Lex Anteinternet?

This blog has been around since 2009. In the very first post, we asked the question: "What the heck is this blog about?"

Our answer to the question was: "The intent of this blog is to try to explore and learn a few things about the practice of law prior to the current era. That is, prior to the internet, prior to easy roads, and the like. How did it work, how regional was it, how did lawyers perceive their roles, and how were they perceived?"

We also noted: "Part of the reason for this, quite frankly, has something to do with minor research for a very slow moving book."

All of this is still true, but the focus of the blog has changed somewhat. It now focuses on the era from 1890 to 1920 in general, rather than on the law and lawyers specifically, although that may be far from obvious. It's also become the location where we comment on anything we feel moved to comment on.

We hope you'll feel moved to comment as well. While we moderate every comment, so as to weed out Spam, we greatly appreciate the comments where they are offered, and hope to see more.

Thank you for stopping in!
