Hi everyone ---
1. List the reference books (maximum of five) that you use most
frequently:
- Webster's Collegiate Dictionary
- The Chicago Manual of Style
- The Microsoft Manual of Style
- Designing Web Usability (Nielsen)
- Dreamweaver 3 - Hands-On Training (Weinman and Green)
2. In one sentence, summarize or list the kind(s) of writing you do. (i.e.
manuals, help systems, marketing, fiction, humor, journalism, weird sig
lines, etc.):
I'm a contractor, so I've done a little of everything: user guides, developer
guides, on-line help, web development, CBT development, API documentation,
communication plans, documentation sets
3. Are you a dog person or a cat person?
I LOVE big dogs, grew up with a cat, and own a mischievous mini-lop bunny
