Paul Caron is Shutting Down the TaxProf Blog
“I am proud of the role TaxProf Blog has played in the tax and legal education communities over the past 21 years.”
This is sad news because Caron is a great blogger and writer who inspired many others.
Professor Jacobson commented:
“OH NO! You paved the way for so many other bloggers, including me. Your entries have helped fuel our coverage of higher ed. I understand that while it’s a labor of love, a blog also is a beast that must be fed. Good luck and enjoy the extra time.”
My Last TaxProf Blog Post
TaxProf Blog has been a labor of love these past 21 years. I have been puzzling over when would be the right time to stop. Typepad, the platform on which TaxProf Blog is hosted, made the decision for me when it announced on August 27th that it will discontinue all blogs effective September 30th. At this stage in my life, I am not interested in starting anew on a different platform. I hope to find another home for the massive content of my 55,780 TaxProf Blog posts. If I do, I will post the link on this post before September 30th and notify the subscribers to my tax and legal education email lists.
I am proud of the role TaxProf Blog has played in the tax and legal education communities over the past 21 years. My boyhood dream was to be a sports reporter covering the Boston Red Sox on a daily basis for The Boston Globe (after it became obvious even to me that my dream of playing first base for the Red Sox would not pan out). My wife Courtney early on said the blog scratched that itch for me in academics rather than sports.
Before TaxProf Blog sunsets on September 30th, I would greatly appreciate it if readers who have enjoyed my tax, legal education, and/or faith coverage through the years would drop a short note in the comment section at the bottom of this post. When I eventually retire, I will cherish the memories of the time I spent writing this blog for over two decades in the hope that it enriched your lives just a little bit.
