Welcome new “How Appealing” readers: Although nearly 99 percent of “How Appealing” readers who I meet on my various blog-related travels tell me that they have been reading this blog since shortly after its inception in May 2002, it appears that this blog’s inclusion on Law360.com’s list (subscription required for full access) of the top-five must-read law blogs has produced some new visitors in recent days.

Indeed, one sure sign of that arrived yesterday when an administrative assistant at a Baltimore law firm sent me the email addresses of three lawyers at the law firm who wished to be added to this blog’s mailing list. Many blogs have mailing lists, but “How Appealing” is not one of them.

Here’s a guide for new (or not so new) visitors to this blog. In lieu of a mailing list, you can follow this blog on Twitter via this link. Thanks to all of this blog’s new Law360.com-based visitors in recent days who have already figured that out on their own.
