review 1: I was not sure what to think of this book. I understand the basic premise that we need to keep things simple when promoting and writing for a blog or website online. My problem lies in the fact that this style guide teaches you to have no substance in your writing. Maybe I'm just too traditional. It is more or less Strunk's Style guide for the web and new age digital media. Nonetheless, it is a great resource for the modern blogger.
review 2: The Yahoo! Style Guide is an excellent introduction to writing for the web. It is concise and covers all the major concerns for how web writing is different from writing in traditional formats. It also addresses such important topics as search engine optimization, accessibility, proper html tagging methods, laws concerning... more online content and basic webpage coding. There are also clear, fairly thorough sections concerning such important traditional style guide matters as punctuation, grammar and proofreading. I would definitely recommend this style guide to anyone interested in writing for the web (particularly those new to the medium and younger people who also need information on basic punctuation and grammar). less
