What did they say?

Thanks to blogger.com for the connection failure... Tim has given the "Bible in Electronic Culture" class an extention till tommorrow. I just thought I would give an overview of what the class has been all about .... the reader can be able to 'discern' the members' position as far as the electronic culture is concerned . Electronic just makes it easier, so they say... read 'sea', 'the dawn' and the 'denisek qoheleth'. Read for yourself...................

All yee writing for the web....

It is sad indeed that the semester is coming to an end and so is the course on "Bible in Electronic Context"- I mean just for the course not that I'm anywhere near being on holiday(-:)

  • As I finish my class project for the course, Racheal McAlpines book on Web Word Wizadry: A Guide to Writing for the Web and Intranet serves as a guide and a warning to future writings on the web.
  • To develop a quality site and one that has our audience in mind, this book is a must read. Web writing is not easy as it sounds after all. How in the world can the publisher "create mental pictures of the people who are thier audience"?Imagine the kind of keywords and terms the audience would use with the search engines to searc for the sites? Reading her book makes this sound... everthinking of writing for the web,
  1. Have you taken into consideration that most web readers skim? NO OR MINIMAL SCROLLING (I hope this does not mean web readers suffer from selective amnesia..)
  2. What about the fact that sites are globally read, readers whose primary language is not English.... (take care of those big words)
  3. How about "perfect navigation, worthwhile content, user friendly design, and good writing?

blogging will go on though........
