Writing first for the web
We're fortunate to have Ginny Redish as a usability consultant (ah, one of the perks of living where we do :). I was poking around her website this morning and noticed that she had a (PDF) that was a slightly updated version of her popular "Writing for the Web" presentation. I must admit to having a bit of an "a ha" when I came across a point I think was relatively new. She wrote: In the future, organize and write for the web first. If it is easy to use on the web, it will almost certainly make a great paper document. In retrospect, it's kind of a "why didn't I think of that?" But if organizations could put it in place as a process, I think it might well improve both our online and print documents!
