Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Kevin O'Keefe's LexBlog pages as a 2006 post on Walmart's fake RV travel blog and as a 2005 copy of Ev Williams' 'Ten Rules for Web Startups', since the original is offline.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Publishing helps lawyers build a name and grow their business. Kevin O’Keefe has shared the why and how on this blog for over 20 years.
