Thursday, May 31st, 2007    Subscribe To Our FeedWriting for the Web is different from writing for print: you need to think TINY paragraphs.
Readers scan online - one thought per paragraph
If you’re a brand new writer, you won’t have anything to unlearn. If you’re writing for print, remember that the Web is a different medium. You’re writing for Web surfers who scan.
They need lots of headlines, sub-headlines, and bullets, so that they can get the gist of a Web page in a glance or two. They won’t hang around to decipher a mass of text.

The Web is hypertext. It’s easy to expand on anything you write - you just create a link to a new page.
