Re: Newbie needs help

["Jenny Megale" <frankiem -at- starband -dot- net>]

Thank you Sean for the sites that you listed for XML, I will go and
check them out.  For others who have flayed me for asking where to do
research (which was highly constructive by the way - some egos on this
list need to be checked a tad).  I wasn't talking about "help I don't
know how to use the web", I wanted sites that offered something other
than the generic pap that is out there and hoped that someone might know
what they were.  Also, the other big question was "How does one bill for
technical articles of this length."  Being relatively knew to this
concept of billing for technical writing as an entity unto itself, I
have no idea.  From what I have gleaned from the archives and the
threads, for manuals one estimates approximately 2 hours per page.
However, if one did this for an article of 30 pages long it would be
quite prohibitive in cost.  Any ideas.

Thank you

Jenny
