An Author Record is your structured identity page in the LexBlog Library — a single, citation-ready home for the legal writing you've published. This article explains what a record is, the difference between basic and paid records, and what's included when you subscribe. To buy one, see Purchase an Author Record.
Available On All LexBlog plans (bundled with active subscriptions) and as a stand-alone $19/month subscription for non-customers.
What an Author Record is
LexBlog publishes a public-facing record for every author whose work appears in the Library. By default, a record is a basic listing — your name and the posts we've indexed under it.
A paid Author Record upgrades that listing into a structured, machine-readable reference for your legal work. We've designed it to look and feel like a library index card, not a social profile. There are no follower counts, no decorative banners, no social media icons. The goal is credibility and discoverability — a clean public page that holds up as a citation.
Basic record vs. paid Author Record
| Basic record | Paid Author Record | |
|---|---|---|
| Public page in the Library | Yes | Yes |
| Posts synced to LexBlog Publishing Network | Yes | Yes |
Structured-author schema markup (JSON-LD Person) |
No | Yes |
| Full collected-works display | No | Yes |
| Structured-author treatment in Library search | No | Yes |
What's included with a paid Author Record
A paid Author Record gives you three things a basic record doesn't:
-
Structured, machine-readable identity. Your record outputs a full
Personschema entity (JSON-LD) that associates you, by name, with the posts indexed under your record. This is the structured data that search engines and AI tools read when they're building a picture of who has written what — basic records don't include it. - Your collected works on one canonical page. Every post we've indexed under your name appears on your record, presented in the index-card layout. One URL, one place, every piece.
- A citation-ready public URL. Your Author Record has a permanent URL on lexblog.com you can include in bios, CVs, conference talks, social profiles, or anywhere else you want a single source of truth for your published work.
If you're an active LexBlog client
If your firm has an active LexBlog subscription, your Author Record is included at no additional cost. You don't need to purchase separately.
