Web writing: Easy Web page creation and editing

Web writers are always adding Web pages to sites and changing elements on the pages.

This can get confusing and frustrating. When you’ve got dozens of clients, changing an advertisement or a Web offer you created on a Web page months ago can be a real hassle.

A new service called Texty makes it much easier. Essentially it’s a WYSIWYG HTML editor. You create a page or an element in Texty. Then click to get embed  JS code, which you add to a site or page.

Whenever you wish, you can go back to Texty, change the HTML, and the changes will flow automatically to the site(s) - no need to find the code on your machine, change it, and then FTP it to site(s).

Texty reminds me a little of Skitch, which will send images to your own personal MySkitch site, so you can add your images to Web pages, blogs, and forum postings.

The image above shows a Web ad I created; it’s an image and link to Fab Freelance Writing Ezine. The process of creating and embedding it took less than five minutes. The beauty of it is, I can change the Texty at any time, from any computer. Great stuff.

Web writing: do you need to know HTML?

Many writers making the switch to Web writing worry that they need to learn HTML, or other Web coding languages.

Relax. You don’t need to learn coding.

However, a basic knowledge of HTML and FTP does help, because it means that you can make changes to Web sites after you’ve written the pages, when the pages are online. If you spot a minor change that you want to make to a page’s text, it’s much easier to do it yourself, than to ask the “Web guy/ gal” to do it. Basic Web know-how is also useful for creating your own sites.

So if Web writing appeals to you, add some basic Web knowledge to your skill set. This knowledge will stand you in good stead for years to come. It also means that you can accept project management gigs - which pay more than straight Web writing.
