Tapping your creative juices Interesting division of challenges into component parts:

"Sometimes the problem is cognitive, e.g. learning and explaining. Sometimes the problem is

emotional, e.g. conflict resolution. Sometimes the problem is spiritual, e.g. conflict of interest.

Sometimes the problem is physical, e.g. constrained by available resources. And most of the time the

problem is a lovely blending of components that taxes body, soul, and spirit."

I spell out all one-digit numbers (0 to 9). I have no better justification but the fact that "a 2-steps

sequence" doesn't sound right.

The idea seems cool but I cannot get the site to work properly for me using FireFox or IE. I want

to search for my company but that functionality seems to be broken. I like the idea I just wish the

site was more polished.

Dilbert animated shorts from your favorite comic

Apologies -- two spam posts crept through. I changed the default role to contributor for now, so I'll

have to approve your posts before they're published. Once I increase the security, I'll change the

default role back to author.

Twittering Tips

for Beginners - Pogue‘s Posts Blog - NYTimes.com. Best part: I found one rule,

though, that answered a long-standing question I had about Twitter: ―Don‘t tweet about what you‘re

doing right now.‖ Which is weird, since that‘s precisely how the typing box at Twitter.com is labeled:

―What are you doing?‖ David Pogue is one of the speakers at the upcoming STC

Summit.

Resumes for tech writer positions often make depressing reading. I've been doing a lot of it

recently. You wouldn't believe the number of resumes (CVs we call them over here in the UK)

that are full of careless mistakes. I got one recently where the writer claimed to have "an obsessive

eye for detail" and then had a spelling mistake in the very next sentence.

I've wrestled w/ sw dev staff about this for years. I feel this is mostly an issue about how the UI is

conceived. Most apps don't capture enough context from the user during first/early use about the

user's goals. Having more of this context allows the app to more explicitly guide the user to make

sure he/she is "making progress" in using the app. The app should also be smart enough to

recognize when a user is no longer a neophyte and to offer appropriate level of guidance when

needed by the user.

This won't fly. Neither will the idea that multi-tasking is not efficient. It isn't accepted. Just as

some companies allow employees to work from home and others don't. Some accept the concept

and others don't.

This may look like spam, but it's not. If you've ever needed to download youtube videos or other media

in an mp4 format rather than flv, this is the tool to use. Works great. (Think about those presentations

you might be giving in places that are "offline"). Free video soft: video converter, ipod converter, mp4 converter.

What is a Browser, etc |

UI and us. Makes you think twice about using the term "browser" in your documentation. The

alternative, however, seems to be using Internet Explorer or Firefox, which may suggest something

works only in one exclusive browser.

Palimpsest: Flare 5 DITA feature review Part 1: Overview and map files. I really enjoyed

this thorough testing and analysis of Flare 5's integration of DITA. It's a huge new feature with

forward-looking possibilities (namely webhelp output from DITA). Sarah O'Keefe does a nice job

looking at all details, quirks, and other issues.

WordPress Single Post

Templates — Nathan Rice. If you're customizing a WordPress theme with different templates, you

probably know you can create templates specific to different categories. But when the user clicks the

post, the single.php file template loads. By default, you can't use different single.php files in the same

way that you can with category templates. The script on this site allows you to add a little snippet of

code to functions.php so that your single.php file can be templated like category.php.

10 Sites

That Produce Quality WordPress Content — Nathan Rice. Here Rice provides a great list of

WordPress sites that publish useful, important information. If you're into WordPress, you might want

to add these sites to your RSS feed. Because the WordPress community is so distributed, so is the

information. Also, Rice's site has some excellent information as well, but he was too modest to include

his own site on the list.

Speakers

and fees: an insiders view | Speaker Confessions. In a world of online video and online interaction

(whether from videocasts, podcasts, or webinars), why do people still go to conferences to watch

speakers in person? This writer says there's more energy in the room, which you can't duplicate

through virtual mediums. I'm not sure the energy in the room is a sufficient benefit, though.

Conferences are often social events more than learning events.

because people are too lazy to seek out the videos, podcasts, etc, or because they only see this

group of friends once a year...the social angle you stated, or because they get to mix with

professors and network in person...get a break from work routine. If STC only did 2 things, I

would want it to be the Summit (generates the video content) and the Technical Communication

journal.

We still haven't seen the effects of Summit@aClick yet. Maybe it will be a huge value, and maybe

people will quickly tire of the format. I'm interested to find out. Also, it's cool to know you value

the Technical Communication Journal so highly. You're one of the few.

Palimpsest: Whither

STC? Sarah O'Keefe provides an excellent analysis of the financial meltdown that is troubling the

STC right now. Her point about the lack of community struck me as the most critical factor. The STC

is operating with a 30-year-old model. They need to come up to speed--and quick. The organization

has been more reactive than proactive with regards to web 2.0 technology. It needs a champion that

could bridge, create, and foster virtual communities. I predict major changes or complete dissolution.

The

Blockhead Blog: Does the STC deserve to survive?. David Farbey has written an engaging article

on the STC question. He asks a poignant question, "Do Board members not realise that the financial crisis is just an acute symptom of an

underlying chronic condition, which is the decline of the Society?" The posts I've seen and the

subsequent responses seem to call for a radical overhaul of the Society, but few believe it will

happen.

Inkscape: the free alternative to Adobe Illustrator. Alistair Christie references two

open source alternatives to Illustrator: Inkscape and Raven. Students are always asking me how they

can master power tools without having a budget to buy them. If you use these open source apps to

create engaging diagrams and illustrations, employers probably won't care what tool you used. You

demonstrate your skills using any tool to get the job done.

It‘s Time to Shoot Your Blog |

Copyblogger. In this post, Jon Morrow compares a cowboy shooting a sick horse to bloggers

pulling the plug on a sick and dying blog. Shooting a blog is a better analogy than blog-fading, because

shooting a blog suggests that you're not just quitting because of a lack of time, energy, or topics, but

rather you're quitting because something isn't right about the blog--its focus, the lack of interest, or a

non-existent community.

4J's Group - THE CONTENT

POOL: It's STC not STW. Alan Porter comments on the STC issue and argues that we don't focus

enough on the visual communicators--the graphic designers and illustrators. The STC really only

targets the technical writers. In a world where visual information is in increasing demand as a means of

technical communication, excluding the visual communicators is one way we hold ourselves back.

Identity and Authority. Why the Foundation of Documentation is

Changing. | The LugIron Software Blog. In this post, LugIron says documentation departments

now have competition from other sources, whereas previously they dominated this arena without

challenges from other sources. He pulls together several posts by various bloggers and suggests a trend

in the industry. He ends by arguing, "This shift [in the tech comm industry] will be dominated by

multi-channel publishing of single-sourced, collaborative content that works to engage and bring users

into communities influenced by the company‘s they orbit around.

Generation B - Mr. Mom,

Father‘s Day Edition - NYTimes.com. I thoroughly enjoyed this post about fathers. A good

barometer as to whether you're involved in your kids' lives is whether you plan their birthdays.

Although this editor worked 11 hour days with a 2.5 hour commute, I think tech writing jobs, which

mostly tend to be 8 or 9 hour work days, lend themselves to more family involvement. I've got a post

I'm writing based on this article.

Core Dump: STC

floundering? Keith Soltys reflects on the STC issue as well. His last paragraph sums up his point:

"I would hate to lose the STC. It was really important in my development as a technical writer, and I

still find it worthwhile. However, it's not essential - the rise of the Internet, with the World Wide Web

and social media, has provided many alternatives for finding information and networking with other

writers. At one time, the STC was pretty much the only game in town - it's not now, and if the people

running the organization don't realize this and start doing something about it now, it will die away." Is

it me, or does the trend seem pretty clear: not a lot of people are rooting for STC to survive without a

major overhaul of value.

2009-06-24 17:31:30

I think the view presented is a little simplistic. At one time, STC was the only national, then

international, game in town. It's not now, and they know it. The ED that came a few years ago is

extremely good. The people running the organization DO realize the precarious position, and they

ARE trying to be responsive, but are having a hard time keeping up. They are being pulled in

multiple directions (do change this, don't change this), and having to go from 0 to 100 in a very

short period of time, because during the reign of the previous STC EDs, things were allowed to

stagnate terribly. (I was on the board at the time of great upheaval, and know all too well the good,

bad, and uglies of STC-ville.) STC also has a scattered membership, and many of the more vocal

members are extremely thin-skinned. Response and change is met with incredible resistance. And

reasoning with members in business terms on STC listserv becomes fruitless - it ends up in an

attack by people who get offended instead of listening to the message. So what happens is that the

group who could be mentors and leaders have backed away because it's too much work trying to

drag recalcitrant members along the path to progress. The nature of a membership that resents its

own association and is wants to see its demise so they can say "I told you so" is dysfunctional at a

very basic level. (I'd love to get a psychologist to weigh in on this!) One has to ask why they're

members of an association they don't support? If slagging it, that's an odd way of showing support.

Or, maybe whining became part of the STC member culture? The whole "the borg is bad and I'm

powerless to change it so I'll just complain about it" is so 1990s, and getting tiresome, quite

frankly. STC is by no means the borg, and is a member-driven organization. Want change? Get

involved. There is a great group of people in the office trying their best to turn a very large ship,

despite some pretty hefty anchors slowing them down. OK, I'll get off my soapbox now.

I've been a technical writer for 20 years and on and off STC member (currently off). I will echo

the comment (made by Keith and others, elsewhere) that the professional association with STC

was useful early on in my career. They need to become a web portal offering the BEST training in

topics of interest to technical communicators (WordPress, WebHelp, DITA)...if they can manage

to do that, they will gain more respect and membership. People learn and interact online these

days, rather than going to the meeting at the hotel conference room after work on the second

Tuesday of every month.

difference between offshoring and outsourcing. Basically, offshoring is outsourcing outside your

country. He also highlights the dangers of immigrant bashing. I think it's easy to feel threatened by

offshoring or outsourcing because it poses risks to your job (if you're a company employee). However,

there are numerous benefits to employing writers full time rather than outsourcing the work. One main

skill is that the writer becomes a product expert and can provide multiple roles: training, support,

maintenance, additional deliverables.

Google Voice. The help content for

Google Voice is pretty cool -- just a list of basic tasks (about 20) with short instructional video clips. I

don't know why the scripts to the video tutorials aren't made available, but it's a good example of how

to do video tutorials for help content. Usually Google knows what it's doing, too.

It would also be useful to navigate from one help topic to another without having to close the

video screen upon the ending of one topic only to have it open again for the next topic. Perhaps a

video screen embedded on the page is all that's needed to achieve this. That said, the instructional

videos clips excellent.

Watch How I Spend My First 20 Minutes Online Every Morning. It's

kind of interesting to see how a pro blogger keeps updated with the barrage of information that a high

profile blog like his attracts. The more popular a blog, the more emails, trackbacks, comments, spam,

and noise.

50 Free Resources That Will Improve Your Writing Skills | Developers Toolbox |

Smashing Magazine. I appreciate the focus on "writing," but I have to say that these long lists of

resources never quite impress me as much as a good post. Also, even though many of the resources

here go beyond grammar, I always resent it when people equate grammar and punctuation with

writing. Writing is all about content; the grammar is just a given.

I find thoughtful posts and long resource lists both valuable in their own rights. Lists can be great

pointers to new tools or techniques: A link and a reason why it's cool is all I need to decide if it's

worth checking out. But thoughtful posts go much further in creating a community and loyal

readers.

Don't have time to work out? If you go down to the gym for 2 minutes at lunch and bike or run as fast

as you possibly can, the effect will be the same as working out for an hour or more. I'm totally going to

start doing this.

Write Articles, Not Blog Postings

(Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox). I saw this link from Ivan Walsh. Jakob Nielsen argues that you

should write long, in-depth articles on your blog rather than short posts that mostly link to other blogs.

If you publish articles, you provide value to your readers and better establish your brand.

Secrecy versus openness in

communication. Gerry McGovern makes an interesting comparison between Apple and Microsoft

when it comes to secrecy and transparency. Although many people love Apple and find their

applications simple to use, they are not a very transparent company at all. They maintain absolute

secrecy until the day of release. Not so with Microsoft.

Palimpsest: This is the future of technical communication. Sarah O'Keefe

explores an ethical dilemma about including potentially dangerous information in documentation (even

if it's accurate). Her post made me reflect. Fortunately, I don't document anything that has any impact

on one's life (except death by boredom in a meeting).

Mind Hacks: In our wildest dreams

Mind Hacks: In our

wildest dreams. Okay, I realize this has little to do with technical communication, but it will

change the way you view your dreams at night. Rather than escape, fantasy, or just plain nonsense,

dreams are "night-time survival training." Those dangerous situations of aggression or pursuit are your

body's way of conditioning a response to danger. It's your training for those really dangerous situations

you might find yourself in when you're actually awake.

How the Web and the

Weblog have changed Writing. I saw this on Gordon Meyer's blog. It talks about

how blogs and web publishing have provided venues for texts that, due to incorrect page length,

wouldn't have otherwise been published. Traditionally, texts had to be either 5 pages for magazines or

200 pages for books. Blogs now allow paragraph-length thoughts or 20 pages essays. Length (either

too long or too short) is no longer a deterrent to publishing.

Content

Theory: Sheep and Chaos — MK Anderson. Keith Anderson writes about the need for technical

communicators to focus on user needs and the user experience as their starting point. Does DITA

fulfill this focus? Not in the eyes of the user. Users want better search and social networking.

robfelty.com :: Blog :: Wordpress Plugins. I saw

these cool collapsable plus and minus signs on Keith Anderson's site (see the left column). I've been looking for something like

this for a while, because eventually I'll put together a help prototype with WordPress, and I need a

collapsable menu like this for pages.

Rather than use Writer River as the interface for publishing links, we use Publish2, which is a link

sharing platform. You use Publish2 to manage your links, and then publish your links to one of the

blogs that you have configured in Publish2. You can add multiple blogs and Twitter accounts to your

Publish2 profile, and then publish a link to all of the sites at the same time. You just have to set up

your blog and Twitter accounts in your Publish2 profile and then it's all automated. [caption

become a link journalist, complete the form here. Look for my invitation to join the Publish2

technical communication newsgroup. Click the link in the Publish2 invitation email and

register for a Publish2 account. For the news organization, list Writer River. After

registering, you'll be prompted to add a Publish2 bookmarklet to your browser. Follow the on-screen

instructions to do this. If you're not prompted to add the bookmarklet, log in to Publish2.com and go to

Settings > Add Bookmarklet. Near the bottom of the bookmarklet,

under "Also add this link to," click Set Up Account (next to blog). You can also

enter the blog settings from the Publish2.com site by going to Settings >

Blogs. Enter your blog user name and password. As desired, add other

blogs and Twitter accounts that you want to publish your links to (you configure each of these from the

Settings menu in Publish2). That's it. Now you can add links to Writer River using one of

the following methods: Add Links

STC‘s wiki is also scheduled for demolition ::

TechCommDood. I admit that while I haven't visited the STC Forums in at least a year, I am

surprised to see them being taken down. I didn't realize the hosting costs were so prohibitive that it was

an expense that needed to be cut. Then again, I'm not sure the STC is taking them down to cut

expenses. In STC's announcement, they don't actually say why they're taking the forums down.

Instead, the STC announcement reads like an obituary, lauding the valuable contributions of

members on the forums on a wide range of issues. Must not have been that valuable if we're deleting

them. The hint of exploring a next-generation solution, without any clear indication of what or when

that solution will be implemented, seems like a soft way of removing the forums without explaining

why.

Keys to Being a Trusted Source of Information: Gryphon Mountain Journals

Keys to Being a Trusted Source of Information: Gryphon Mountain Journals. My

colleage Ben Minson reflects on one of the key benefits of engaging in social media: trust. And then he

analyzes trust in relation to the help materials we create as technical communicators. "If our audience

thinks about us, they likely see us as just another part of the team that develops the product. We‘re not

their friends—we‘re one of the people trying to make money off of them. We‘re hiding inside the big

office building or within the business park and don‘t know them. But Joe Schmoe knows them.

They‘re him. He bought the product, figured out some best practices, and posted them on his blog as

he went." I agree, but I'm not sure how to expose personality and establish a friendly, personable image

for corporate documentation.

InDesignSecrets » Learn InDesign One Feature at a Time

InDesignSecrets »

Learn InDesign One Feature at a Time. The author recommends setting aside 15-20 minutes a day

to learn a complicated tool such as InDesign. I couldn't agree more. The same technique applies to

exercise and anything else that is overwhelming in large amounts. Approaching it little by little each

day, you find that it's not so overwhelming. However, this article has an even more profound

implication for help authoring. If people really learn best in 20 minute increments, should we design

help with a 20-minutes-a-day plan? What if we structured a "Learn X in 10 Days During Lunch" type

of training deliverable, rather than giving them 30 video tutorials or help topics to slog through, which

would take them all day? Intereseting approach. I just might try this.

The Paris Review - Gay

Talese: The Art of Nonfiction No. 2. This interview with Gay Talese in The Paris Review is

fascinating. What appeals to me is how Talese gathers information for his prose. He goes out and talks

to people; he interacts and observes and takes notes. Critics identify him with the New Journalism

movement, a group of writers who blend traditional news reporting with literary devices from the

fiction world. Talese is looking for story, often from minor or unknown characters. This interview

inspires me to take the same approach in my writing: to go out and interact, interview, observe, study,

and then write about it in a narrative way.

Best Practices For Effective Design Of "About me"-Pages | Design Showcase | Smashing

Magazine. Smashing Magazine routinely comes out with posts that have 50+ examples of

something. Usually I gloss over these posts, but the About Me page is critical for a blog, so I read it

more carefully. Readers want to know a little about the author they're reading. My About Me page isn't

that exciting -- certainly not creative or artsy enough to make Smashing Magazine's list. I work on my

About Me every now and then, trying to figure out what to say because I know it's one of the most read

pages on a blog. I just updated my About page page

again tonight, adding a little more detail. I'm never quite sure if it's interesting or if answers questions

people have.

Strategy - a knol by Jeffrey MacIntyre. Looking to get up to speed on content strategy? This page

contains a sizable collection of links, references, definitions, and other useful information as a primer

to the field. Content strategy is pretty cool. In general, it refers to making careful decisions about all

the content on your site to achieve a calculated end with the user. Again, thanks tc.eserver.org for the tip. (By the way, "knol" is a new word you can add to

your vocabulary.)

New York Times Bits Blog ―What We‘re Reading‖ - Publishing

2.0. I just recently came out with the "What I'm Reading" feature on my blog, and now I see the

NYTimes has a "What We're Reading" feature as well. How cool. Their approach uses a link sharing

tool by Publish2.

A List Apart: Articles: Content-

tious Strategy. This looks to me like a seminal post in the content strategy movement. Jeff

Macintrye is both witty and articulate. Content strategy is a good way of thinking about our profession.

It's a lot sexier term than "technical communication" and encompasses more. Content strategy feels

more like the direction people who shout "I'm more than just a writer" have been trying to head for

years. Thanks to Geoff Sauer at tc.eserver.org for

the tip.

Cool

article about the imaginative empathy fiction writers use to get inside their characters' heads. The

author explores the science behind our brain's ability to do this despite lacking the experiences of

others.

Toward

Content Quality :: UXmatters. In this article, Colleen Jones explains about ten specific principles

that content strategists look at. This article does a nice job of making content strategy more practical

(rather than a nebulous, hard to grasp concept). According to Jones, these are the points (beyond mere

grammar and style) that a content strategist looks at: "testing content with users,

monitoring content metrics, establishing governance, applying

the publishing model to content , incorporating content guides, standards, and tips into

CMS workflows, maintaining the metadata, hiring employees,

consultants, and agencies who care about content."

What can Technical Authors learn from celebrity chefs and musicians?

Cherryleaf Technical Authors Blog. Ellis is a marketing genius, so I pay attention when he writes

on this subject. In this post, he explores a business model behind giving away content for free. You

give some content away for free, but in return collect an e-mail address that you pass to your marketing

team, who then pitches products to the consumers who received the free content.

Gruber points out that

free access to news content means news organizations will need to lighten their staffing models,

requiring every one in the organization to contribute content. The old model with executives and a

heavy number of employees in a company is going the way of the dinosaurs.

are more disrupted by meetings than managers because of the nature of the tasks programmers and

writers are involved in. I completely agree. One hour-long meeting can blow apart my entire afternoon.

Maker's Schedule, Manager's Schedule

I love this essay. Paul Graham

distinguishes between the "maker's schedule" and the "manager's schedule" and talks about the

dilemma between offending someone or losing half a day's work. Fits me perfectly, especially since

some of my meetings are half a mile away. His point about the difficulty of switching modes is right

on: "For someone on the maker's schedule, having a meeting is like throwing an exception. It doesn't

merely cause you to switch from one task to another; it changes the mode in which you work."

Very interesting article. Of course, Graham seems to be quite focussed on meetings where all

participants seem to be in the same office and certainly doesn't talk about different time zones.

Even though I'm now only mainly dealing with intra-Australian time zones, what's the start or end

of the work day for some of my team is before work or mid-afternoon for others. I wonder how

you can try to schedule maker's meetings across time zones?

Theresa Putkey explains

how to make context-sensitive help more usable. Don't just present a single task to the user that relates

to the page the user is on, but rather present a variety of topics spanning the how, when, why, and other

related issues for the page.

Do Screen Captures Still Makes Sense?

Paul Masalsky argues that screen captures in documentation introduce more trouble than they're

worth. Localization is the main difficulty. Another is size and the fact that many times the screenshots

duplicate what the user already sees in the interface. This post raises a lot of issues that are worth

exploring. While I agree that screenshots are problematic, I also think that without them, your

documentation's usability goes down. When I watch users perform the steps of my documentation, they

look very carefully at the screenshots I include.

Without screen captures, you're looking at, well, text. Documentation reads much better with

screen captures.

Blogging can be an outlet to practice your own literary voice, rather than always be trapped in a style

I had no idea it cost so much to run a Wordcamp conference. Apparently Wordcamp Dallas

cost about $20k. Wow, I thought it would have been a tenth of that. As much as I enjoy them, I don't

think I'll ever get involved in planning and running a conference.

It's fascinating to listen to Stephen Fry. He's an extremely eloquent British scholar, filmographer,

literary critic, and who knows what else. Listening to Fry feels liberating and exhilarating at the same

time. In this iTunes festival speech, he talks about the love of the art and music, and how, even

if these lovers of art and music occasionally pirate content, the piracy should not earn them

classification as thieves and criminals.

Chris Anderson's analysis about the economy of free (or "freeconomics") is about the

most fascinating thing I've read in a long time. Everything on the web is trending toward free -- how

are companies turning free into a business model? Anderson explores various reasons for the zero cost

trends and lists several strategies companies are using to turn free into a profit.

I loved this essay on

writing. I always hear advice from writers that you must write daily no matter what. Zeldman

takes another perspective on this idea, and encourages you to "write when inspired; rest when tired."

Very eloquent prose throughout.

THIS is advice I can get behind. I find it impossible to write everyday no matter what. I just can't.

I can do wonders when inspired and think about things to help me get inspired. Bbut when I'm

tired, if any writing gets done, it isn't any good any way.

help file for help, perhaps we should dress up our help to look more like the web. Lots of comments on

According to a survey, reading books boosts your optimism

more than anything else. Quite a bit more than "blogs," the survey says.

Mary Connor talks about the latest tools for exporting

documentation to wikis. She seems to prefer Webworks ePublisher for its ability to export to

Confluence, a wiki that supports authoring for future releases.

When I read about guys

like John Gruber, who make their living from their blog, it fills me with envy. I want to do that.

Not sure if tech comm's audience is large enough, but perhaps someday.

information-design/



Listened to this podcast last

night and this morning. Gerry McGovern talks about the importance of "care words" on a website.

These words are the content people are looking for but aren't using in the search engines. He says

finding the right words to match what the customer is looking for can make a huge impact on how the

customer interprets the relevance of the site. For those non-podcast listeners, Gaffney transcribes the

podcast too.

This is an informative intro-to-

technical writing is a field they should pursue. It's always refreshing to hear Alistair's perspective.
