The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.

company's pages: http://www.wordmark.com/
He is also about to publish a book on the subject. (Free publicity
for a friend)
