[Sigia-l] Writing for the Web

[Whitney Quesenbery]

There are some good writing guidelines on usability.gov. This section was 
developed by Ginny Redish, who's one of the gurus of both usability and 
clear communication.

There is an article by Ginny and Mary Theofonos in the new issue of 
Interactions with the writing for accessibility guidelines they developed 
out of a series of usability tests and user observations of blind and 
low-vision users.
