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.
It's come to my attention that several postings to this list have made mention of a free, monthly newsletter for WinHelp authors that Weisner Associates publishes.
I wanted to clarify several points about this resource, since we've received so many inquiries about it:
*While we do publish a free newsletter, it is delivered quarterly
*While it does offer tips and advice for both WinHelp and HTML authors, it is very much a newsletter focused on marketing our products and services
*It is delivered via snail mail, not email, so requests should be accompanied by a US postal address
*We do not mail outside the US; however, an electronic (.PDF) version of the newsletter is available from our Web site at http://www.primenet.com/~wai
We also offer another resource for WinHelp and HTML authors -- the Help Author's Resource Kit (vol. 1) is a comprehensive, periodically updated CD-ROM based collection of tools, tips, and documentation, and includes discounts worth hundreds of dollars for products and services related to hypertext information delivery. You can download a free demo from our Web site (the demo is, of itself, an extremely valuable resource, with listings and descriptions of hundreds of WinHelp/HTML resources). Or you can download it directly via FTP from ftp.primenet.com/users/w/wai/harkdemo.exe.
To save bandwidth, any questions can be forwarded directly to my attention at ben -at- weisner -dot- com -dot-
