Even aside from the requirements of search engine optimisation, writing
for the web is significantly different to writing for print.
Many
of the most important of these differences are results of the fact that
reading from a monitor puts more strain on the eye than reading from
paper. This extra strain means readers are more likely to skim-read the
text – or ignore it all together.
Consequently, most websites
tend to focus on images and bold headings to get their messages across;
but, in many cases, text is still a requirement.

You'll also needpatience -- it's more tiring than most people think to sit andcarefully read page after page of type. |

Let us say from the start that writing, copy editing, and content editing are different and, as such, require unique skills. Writing is about getting ideas and content on paper. The primary task of writing is to determine what content to communicate. Copy editing (often called proofreading) is about adherence to commonly accepted rules for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and usage. Content editing (often simply called editing) is about bridging the gap between what a writer wants to communicate and what a reader needs or desires.

So this is how my average weekday morning goes. Give briefing to a telly researcher on a subject I have written sum total of one article about, complete long Q&A for self-publicity purposes for a magazine (which will appear under someone else's byline), supply a written quote to help a reporter on a daily broadsheet fill space, update my website in case the one person who to my certain knowledge has checked it out ever visits it again, post blog for this magazine's Coffee House, then break for lunch, hopefully somewhere nice and near like Rowley Leigh's new Le Caf Anglais (plug, plug), where the Parmesan custard and anchovy toast is not merely vaut le voyage, but possibly worth Eurostarring over from Paris for. |
