Web Sites for Tech Writers- Updated List

[Gregory Keith <GKeith -at- DELRINA -dot- COM>]

Techwhirlers;

Okay, so I like lists. My fondness for lists has resulted in a newer version
of this Web site list for tech writers. There are about 60 sites,
concentrated on Windows Help info, HTML and Web site design, HCI resources,
and technical communication web pages. Hope you find it useful.
