BankruptcyBill.us

We’ve got a new rss feed address via FeedBurner

http://feeds.feedburner.com/Bankruptcybill

Apologies for any inconvenience to our rss subscribers.  The reason for the change?  The ABA Journal kindly emailed to let us know that Bankruptcy Bill is now in their Blawg Directory–have a look at http://www.abajournal.com/blawgs/bankruptcybill.us. However, they also pointed out that they were having trouble with the old rss feed of http://bankruptcybill.us/feed.  Hence the switch.

Not clear if this means we’re going to be in the ABA Journal’s Top 100 Blawgs, but regardless, we appreciate being on their radar screen.  And if you haven’t done it already, take a moment to tell the ABA Journal why Bankruptcy Bill should be included in their Top 100 Blawgs:  http://www.abajournal.com/blawgs/blawg100_submit (Deadline Friday, Oct 2).

• Click here to tell the ABA Journal if you think the Bankruptcy Bill site (including the Bankruptcy Bill and BAPCPA Man cartoons, bankruptcy haiku and the “Bankruptcy Lover” song) should be included in the Top 100 law blogs:  http://www.abajournal.com/blawgs/blawg100_submit Deadline is October 2.

Just a quick FYI to let readers know that I’ve joined the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys (NACBA).

I’m glad to be a member and look forward to learning the secret handshake if one exists.  If it does, it would be great if someone out there could email me the protocol.  Or perhaps send me a YouTube video so I can observe and practice?  (I promise not to have it illustrated in a cartoon.)

Secret handshake or not, I look forward to meeting and connecting with fellow NACBA members.
