Writing for the Web

When writing for the Web, bear these points in mind:

1. Link to sources whenever possible or practical.
2. Your bandwidth is infinite, so write as much as you need to write to communicate the point in an understandable way.
3. It's best to divide long things into parts, and then link between them.
4. The format of tight summary linked to full examination is an excellent understanding of the medium.
5. Avoid the use of expository digressions
6. The use of "nut graph"-styled writing is often poorly adapted to Web writing.
7. Web writing should be crafted with the knowledge that communication can also run in two directions.
