Well, to be more specific, its for anyone interested in learning more about web writing. Its not intended to be a general book about writingwere focused here on the type of writing people do in social media sites such as blogs, wikis, Twitter, and more. We also have a section about the issues you face when you create web pages, whether on your blog, your wiki, or your own website. Were tailoring it for college students, so were not using terms like deconstruction or hybrid narrative here. Nor will we tell you much about how to do things with software. Our focus is on the rhetoric of writing on the webhow to write things that people will actually want to read. We had fun writing this, and we hope youll have fun reading it. Enjoy!
Oh, my God! Are all my English and composition classes now worthless?
Yup. Prepare to un-learn everything you know about writing.
Not! LOL!
Contrary to doomsayers and web-critical pundits, most people who read things online still appreciate good writing and editing. Although we often hear scary predictions about the dumbing down of our culture by texting and internet speak, there will always be a demand for skilled writers who clearly communicate their thoughts. Beyond that, even if youre just sending short text messages, the rhetorical concepts you learned in college will help you craft better messages, communicate more effectively, and be more persuasive. Finally, people will take you more seriously, even on public message boards, if you write with good syntax, present clear ideas, and take care to acknowledge your sources of information.
Lets take a look at how writing for the Web compares to writing for print.
Coherence, organization, grammar, mechanics, punctuation, and spelling. Just like any game you play, these are the rules by which you are expected to play. Although people might tell you that nobody cares about this stuff online, unless youre talking to your closest friends and family, your audience will expect or at least appreciate it if you put some effort into your writing.
Think of it this way: it takes time for someone to read what you write. Why not respect your readers time and intelligence by making sure your text is clear and free of obvious errors? You will look smarter, worth taking seriously. Its your ethos, (your English teacher/professor might have told you about this), the way you come across to your reader, the face you put forward to the virtual world. Better good than bad. Better thoughtful than thoughtless.
If readers know that you respect their time and attention, theyll be a lot more likely to read your stuff carefully and respond to it. Dont waste their time, and theyll be more likely to give it to you.
When writing for the web, focus on the things that the web does better than print:
Use links to direct readers to related articles, background information, and the source of your information. Why settle for including only a small quotation when you can send your readers to the entire article? Clicking a link is a lot easier than driving down to the library to find the book or article in question. You can also use internal links, which make it easier to move through a single document or connect to other pages within your website. Google Docs, for instance, has a table of contents feature that will link together all the parts of your doc. If you have a blog, you can link to earlier posts that are relevant to what youre talking about.
