Hi--
A couple of weeks ago, I asked techwhirlers for advice about
writing for the
Web, looking for exactly ideas like "one page info:. I haven't followed up
on the
info yet, but here it is, along with belated thanks and an apology the
post took so long:
-Sorry for any typos. That's what I wrote.
Also, people referred me to the following books:
Standards for Online Communication by Joann Hackos & Dawn Stevens
Designing and Writing Online Documentation by Wm. Horton
Hypertext in Context by McKnight, Dillon & Richardson (Cambridge
UP, 1991)
Thanks again,
