New Section: Hiring–Part 1

After a long break spent in various other pursuits, I now have a new section to post. This is the first part of a chapter on hiring technical writers. I expect this will be a section in 3, possibly 4 parts.

Here’s a link: Hiring: Part 1

Part of my time away was spent editing previous sections, which I’ll update on line as I get the chance, and part of it was spent working on new sections that I’ll begin posting over the next few weeks.

As always, comments are welcome.

Draft Section: Adventures in Coin Collecting

I’ve just posted a new section titled, “Adventures in Coin Collecting.”

I’m not sure where this one belongs, if it belongs at all. Right now it’s under “Motivation,” but it may need to go somewhere else. Mostly, it’s an excuse to tell the story about my adventures in coin collecting, but I hope it makes a useful point.

As always, your comments are welcome.

New Section: Managing Change

I’ve just posted a new chapter titled: Managing Change. Here’s a link:

New chapter: Managing Change

This chapter is not part of the original outline, but that was an oversight. Clearly managing change is an important part of any manager’s job.

As always, comments are welcome.

New Section: XML Technology, Part 1

I just posted a new section, XML Technology, Part 1. It’s the first of at least two sections that provide an overview of XML Technology for managers.

Here’s a link:XML Technology, Part 1

This section also contains a few bibliography and glossary entries, mostly to resolve links in the text. They are far from complete.

As always, comments and questions are welcome. Just use the “Leave a Comment” form at the bottom of the page.

New Section: Elements, Part 2

I’ve just posted the second half of the Chapter titled: The Elements of Technical Writing. I also posted an update to the first section. Here are links to both:

• Elements of Technical Writing, Part 1
• Elements of Technical Writing, Part 2

As always, your comments and suggestions are solicited.
