TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. 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.
If you haven't already done this, read the chapter on indexes in the Chicago
Manual of Style (it's chapter 17 in the 14th edition). This discussion tells
you everything you ever wanted to know (maybe more!) about how to index. I
especially appreciated the very clear step-by-step process, which helped me
immeasurably when I created my first index back in the old days before online
indexing.
