About this title

Synopsis

Overview: *Online Style Guide* is an easy-to-use guide to writing for and about the Internet. It's an essential tool for writers, editors, librarians, webmasters, teachers, students, communications professionals, and anyone who wants to learn about the language of the Internet. Content: Hundreds of online terms and acronyms are defined in nontechnical language. Lists, sidebars, and plenty of examples help you relate the information to your situation. From the serious business of writing effective Web site copy to fun (everyone's favorite) sections on emoticons and shorthand, this guide will bring you up to cyberspeed in no time. Throughout the book, the authors share great tips for writers and editors of any medium, including solutions to common grammar mistakes. Format: Tabbed dividers and an index help you find information quickly and easily. The book is wire-o bound, making it easy to keep open while you type; the book lies flat with facing pages or wraps along the spine to show one page at a time. The convenient 6" by 8-1/2" size fits easily on your desk or shelf, or in a briefcase.
