Legal Links

I've updated this site to include most of the Louisiana paralegal links that I posted to LPA's website.  I've been using LPA's links since the website went up a few months ago, and they've proven very handy.  Just because I haven't found any misdirected or broken links yet, though, doesn't mean there may not be a few.  If you find one, please post a comment here, and I will correct it.  Also, suggestions are welcome.

LPA hits Google

Hot-diggety-dog!  LPA's website has now surfaced in some of the major search engines, including Google, Yahoo!, and Excite.  Although it was always only a matter of time, I'm still Yahooing with Googley-eyed Excitement over this, especially because I didn't have to pay big $$$, perhaps for nothing.  (Look for my upcoming post on how to get your site listed in search engines for free.)  Check out Yahoo!'s submission process, typical of what I found with most search engines:

Yahoo!Express is part of a suite of services Yahoo! created to serve the needs of businesses like yours. Yahoo! Express provides expedited review of web sites you submit for possible inclusion in the Yahoo! Directory.

Yahoo! will respond to your request within 7 business days, but "does not ensure that your submission will be accepted for inclusion in the Yahoo! Directory!"  [Bold in original.]  HELLO!!  Where can I get a job like this?  You give me $299, and I will give you a decision, within 7 business days, whether I want to do any work for the money (care to place a wager on what my decision will be?).  Am I seriously missing something here, or is this just legal mumbo jumbo to fill some loophole?  One would hope that, in most instances, Yahoo! goes ahead and lists the website.  But, who would sign such a ridiculous agreement?  Don't get me started . . .

Back on the blog . . .

After a longer hiatus than I wanted or planned (say, about 2 months), I am finally back on the blog.  This time, I think I'm ready to get this thing rolling for real.  I've got my new PC, my new Lexmark X75 color scanner-printer-copier, and my brand-new, cool digital camera, a Canon PowerShot A40, which I got just yesterday.  Check out this shot I took of Pepe.  For more about Pepe, see my story, Pepe the Cajun Squirrel Dog.
