08-11-07: All Future Updates
06-22-06: Spit it out! Literally speaking.
Concise wording can say more with less than anything else.
06-18-06: Check YOURSELF
Before criticizing others.
06-16-06: Categorical Inspiration
It's amazing the places an author can find ideas.
06-09-06: Pencils Work
Though computers are definiately indespensible, there is still something to be said for writing by hand.
06-01-06: Words
One reason I called this blog "In a Word" is because that's how fast someone can judge an author and his website when even just ONE wrong word is used. Sad, but true.
05-11-06: Semantics
When working online, sometimes success depends on being able to read "between the lines" as the saying goes.
05-04-06: What's the "Buzz" on "Pre-Launches?"
While both of these phrases were around prior to 2006, they have suddenly burst from the pact -- both as phrases and marketing trends -- and threaten to drown most of us with their repetition and over-use.
04-27-06: Get it?
A friend once told me that the use of the word "get" in writing is just plain bad English.
03-30-06: COULD Ellipses be the answer. . . ? ;-)
Hokey-Hokey! (any "Sim"-ians out there?)
03-13-06: Timelessness Vs. TimeLIness: Articles That Soar
The most successful articles are those that offer the freshest or most insightful information around. Okay, that's a nice, marketing way of putting it. Here is the same message in a much more direct way: If your subject is old or has been done to death, your article -- no matter how well written or how much the title sizzles -- will never see the light of day.
03-09-06: Sweet & Simple: It's All Semantics
One of the classic mistakes new writers make is to use all kinds of lesser known words, especially ones they are unfamiliar with. When writing for the internet, this not only shows their lack of experience as a writer, it can actually turn traffic away.
03-02-06: Purpose
This blog is meant to be an addendum to the Writing For The Internet article series, which directly addresses the issues of business writing, internet style and all its various incarnations. Since 75%-90% of what an end user sees is written content and online work of any kind demands a great amount of writing, it follows that working successfully online requires above average writing skills.
