WAW #10: Web Style Writing Guide

The Web Style Writing Guide is an extremely useful tool to creating written works on the web. It breaks down each style and explains how the appearance and set up of a website or blog can help for a more efficient affect on viewers.

The most important thing that stood out to me when reading this writing guide is how to write for certain genres on the web such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and many various others. When writing you should write for your audience and your medium. Depending on your medium your own ideas or options could be limited, with Twitter you only have 140 characters to get your message across!

This idea is highly translatable to rhetorical velocity! By writing to your genre you are also taking into account the medium being used and deciding in what way you can get your ideas or information to others in the most efficient and quick way. There is even great advice on how I could potentially make even this blog a great source of interaction between others if I wished.
