Thanks for the guidelines. What most of us miss: the preview button. It rests there for a reason. We, sometimes get too thrilled that we skip preview. You don’t want to run in circles, publish then edit, oh I miss that part! Edit again.

Editing online content that it is well written and without spelling mistakes is really important. Because it not only is courtesy but also shows that you really care about what you are doing.

I hadn’t thought about having my computer reading it out aloud to me, but I love that idea. Because that way I might catch something that I would have over-read, as I know what I wanted to write and might just read it even so it is not there

I liken writing to a painting, you can always find something to fix, something to add or something to destroy.

Hopefully we post our articles before we start wrecking them!

Hi Sean,
I have learnt now to get someone else to proofread my articles, I can either send it to my son to check it out.
I do now rest it for a day or two and take a second or third look (except for the last time)

I agree Jill. Also, apart from ‘embarassing’ mistakes, letting a piece rest for a bit also allows time to reflect on whether there is more that should be added or if something can be expressed with greater clarity.
