Doing up the repossession kits
One of my current projects is a re-vamp of my Do it Yourself Eviction kits on Landlord Law. The old pdf format has served me and my customers very well, but I feel its time for a new look.
So a lot of re-writing, and also some illustrations of the forms with little arrows on them for the step by step form guidance.
I managed to make the new accelerated procedure kit live earlier this week and have started the standard procedure one. However I then got hit by the bug which has slowed me up rather.
Your Law Store Friday
Yesterday (after a major panic when the site stopped working after the php cut out – now sorted) Gill and I started our Your Law Store Fridays where we both work on Your Law Store stuff. The site has been shamefully neglected over the past few months – there are several products nearly ready to go – it just needs us to get down and DO them.
I think we made a pretty good start so hopefully we can launch a few things shortly. The first is likley to be the second edition of my section 21 ebook – should be out very soon.
But enough of all this – what happened on the blog?
