Learn to Write for the Web


Writing online, like in a bog or website, is different from writing in a book.

When you write in a book, every knows that you have the start from page 1 and move on. But on the world wide web, people come into your website or blog from different points - they dont always come in through the front door. Some come in directly to the page from a search engine results, some come in from a previously bookmarked page while others can come in directly into the middle of a page.

Sun Microsystem, believe it or not, actually came up with a guideline on how to write better for the web. Their document, titled Writing for the Web can be found here http://www.sun.com/980713/webwriting/

Hope you'll digest this fine article and practise the lost art of writing.
