TechSoup Launches Public Style Guide
TechSoup has made their Editorial Style Guide public. Similar to the AP Stylebook or The Bluebook, this guide helps people produce content with a consistent style and a more professional look. Style guides are a terrific resource. They prevent staff and others from wasting time wondering whether they should be using "internet" or "Internet," or "Web site" or "website." (Checking TechSoup's quick reference guide, they say it's "Internet" and "website." )
Does your organization have a style guide? You should, and it doesn't have to be cumbersome to draft one. Simply create a document that specifies how to treat your organization's global identity and then use TechSoup's guide for everything else. Your writing will look more professional and be easier to read. - K
