Writing web content

The 'Yahoo! style guide: writing, editing and creating content for the digital world' has been released. The on-line companion guide has a great deal of useful information including: how to write online content, writing strong titles, how search engines 'read' content and a glossary of words.

Another useful resource is the 'Digital Journalist Survival Guide: A Glossary of Tech Terms You Should Know' and the most up-to-date version of this glossary is on the Hacks/Hacker website. You can read about this resource here.

Educational uses:
English teachers could use this when exploring different text types. It's also useful for any website users to know how web content is created (e.g. Why do certain pages come up first in a search?). Administrators could use this when creating web content for the school. The glossaries are a gold mine when trying to understand web talk.
