You might want to take a look at The Columbia Guide to Online Style by
Janice R. Walker and Todd Taylor (1998) Columbia University Press, ISBN:
0-231-10789-7. There is also the Wired Style: Principles of English Usage in
the Digital Age by Constance Hale and Jessie Scanlon (1999) Broadway Books,
ISBN: 0-7679-0372-2. Yes, they are a bit dated, but you will find some
answers about why we now use certain conventions.

Hiya -

Any opinions out there about what the best style guide is for content
published on the web?

I have Sun's Read Me First and Microsoft's Manual of Style, just looking
for other references.

Thanks a million, Tracy
