The Web Content Style Guide is a valuable resource for anyone involved in creating content for the Web. Janette Young, Managing Information magazine This comprehensive and authoritative overview of content management starts with useful guidelines to writing and designing web material. If only most webmasters could heed the sound advice given here, then web surfing would be a much happier experience for us all! Following this, the glossary of terms and definitions also deserves thorough reading. Even the more obvious terms are defined to encyclopaedic depth that clearly has benefited from the authors' wealth of experience in content management. I will certainly be recommending this book to people who attend our writing for the web courses. Malcolm Davison, Managing Director, writingfortheweb.co.uk The first chapter alone of The Web Content Style Guide is worth the price of the book. Great ideas on writing for either traditional or web viewers. Easy to read and insightful. Phil Matous, CEO, Taylor Community Credit Union, Michigan, USA
