Ragan Communications is hosting a teleseminar, "Creating effective content: Web writing and editing skills," Feb. 8. If anyone attends, I'd love to hear how it goes. Merry Bruns, principal of ScienceSites Communications, is the instructor. I think she's a good writer. She might be a good person to invite to the Forum conference.
Earlier in the month I had an e-mail from CASE about a writing for the Web speaker series. But I scanned the e-mail and didn't see any date listed. It's on the 16th. Details about the online seminar can be found at www.case.org/onlinespeaker/webwriting/.
So I learned a lesson already. Put the important details in your e-mail and don't rely on someone to click through to your Web site. A few weeks ago I also learned not to insert details after my e-mail signature. I received an e-mail like that with a job posting. I read the message in my preview pane, saw the signature lines, and assumed that was the end of the message. I never saw the actual posting below the signature.
