Writing advice - the good and the bad
I’ve been receiving the GrokDotCom’s newsletter for a while now and it usually has a lot of good articles. I thought Jeff Saxton’s latest post 2 Pieces of Bad Writing Advice — And What to Do Instead was a pretty good. I particularly like his analogy that illustrates the need to focus on the fundamentals not style.
And I have to admit that I’m a fan of articles that criticize (rightfully) Jakob Neilson’s over generalized, authoritative rules for designing for the web that muddy the waters day after day. (Did I just say that out loud?)
