The blog is a project of Kreindler & Kreindler, the law firm that handles most of the major aviation accidents. I originally worked on this in late 2007 with my graphics designer friend, David Schiffer, who provided the header image and selected the theme from several sample templates I presented. We put up a demo version on WordPress.com, but not until recently have they decided to bring it live.  I moved the content to David’s managed server so that we’d be able to do robust search engine optimization and accommodate some modifications that would not be possible on WordPress.com.

As with another law firm blog I recently built, the Air Safety And Law authors wanted thumbnail versions of their portrait photos to appear with the articles they published.  Instead of hacking the template files as I had done with the previous site, however, I formalized the technique and wrote a WordPress filter. Read my recent article on how this works.

David built a beautiful, static site for Gregory Poe, a lawyer in federal criminal law practice.]]> Gregory Poe's Federal Criminal Practice BlogI just completed another WordPress blog for a client of my good friend and associate, David Schiffer, of DLS Design. David built a beautiful, static site for Gregory Poe, a lawyer in federal criminal law practice, and trusted me to copy his look and feel for the dynamic blog section. The static part of the site featured variable-width left and right margins with an image mapped navigation bar, so I selected my favorite variable-width theme, Minimal, and reconfigured his menu as a WordPress style list so that any new pages Gregory created in WordPress would be automatically added to the navigation elements.

Once Gregory started posting on blog.gpoelaw.com, we realized that his style of writing detailed legalese needed some additional typographic punch so we darkened the text and block justified the paragraphs for additional readability. Under the hood, I added my standard mix of plugins for SEO, Google Analytics and advanced editing.
