Web Content Rx: A Quick and Handy Guide for Writers, Webmasters, Ebayers, and Business People Good tidbits but too repetitive – F. Milway – Richmond, VA USA
I don’t understand the extremely positive reviews this book has received. I’m a fast reader but I find I have to force myself to pick it up. There is some good information in here but there’s so much repetition that it’s almost lost. Some of the organization also has me scratching my head – the section on writing content raising money for charity seemed just odd following a discussion on writing technical instructions. The section on instructions was a good refresh for anyone who’s had technical writing experience but that level of detail would be more appropriate for written instructions not something on a Web page. I think for me the problem boils down to the subtitle A Quick and Handy Guide for Writers, Webmasters, Ebayers and Business People. The author is trying to address his material to too many different audiences.
: Web Content Rx is a hands-on primer that shows anyone–even technical novices–how to write high-quality, keyword-laden, search engine optimized Web content. Based on the latest research on how people read the Web, it also includes numerous tips, tricks, and techniques on writing a blog, training, and creating an audio or video podcast.

This must-have reference is for anyone working on the Web. Webmasters can avoid losing projects for lack of content. Business people can now create effective, readily understood Web content about their services or products. eBay sellers can create powerful online advertisements and photograph your products to maximize their appeal. Technical writers, and those who write for industry, will appreciate the extensive safety-related material.

Whether you need to write simple text or technical material, Web Content Rx is the book for you. Specifically, you will find:
* Examples of good and bad content.
* Numerous methods and techniques for presenting your data.
* Real-world techniques to create content that people will read.
* Eleven appendices with the technical and esthetic material you need to produce the high quality content that your customers demand.

Web Content Rx supports your professional needs by providing a writer’s checklist; samples of a contract, HTML, and design; instructions for how to a estimate a job, establish an hourly rate, take pictures, and create a spam-proof e-mail address.

This book is a toolbox, written by a professional content writer and Web geek. Let it help you get your high-quality content on the Web!

Webmaster Viva Media: 89612 Outwit a villainous computer genius to save the Dream Wide Web! An evil entity known only as the Hacker has taken over this formerly peaceful Web community, enslaving its artificial intelligences and driving benevolent users underground. Unless you can decode the Hacker’s four firewalls and locate his home page, he will spread his malevolent code far and wide.

Despite its title and game concept, Webmaster is not a multiuser Internet game. Instead, it combines the conceits of a first-person role-playing interface (think Myst) with the concept of Web browsing. This means that players can send themselves, in the guise of data packets, out onto the Dream Wide Web. They can also bookmark locales they have visited, saving themselves the tedium of moving–step by slow step–back to a previously visited site. This click-and-move process is broken up, however, by sequences of arcade-style action. The arcade games give you a chance to win cards that hold the key to decoding the Hacker’s firewalls–not to mention the viruses he unleashes in hopes of stopping you.

Webmaster aims at players over the age of 10 by presenting them with wholly inventive and thoroughly entertaining puzzles. Each stop on the simulated Internet is loaded with games and activities. Some are deceptively simple–such as a beach where you throw pebbles at a small toy plane–but the animations and sound for these sequences are so elegantly presented that even jaded gamers will find them a delight. The subterranean message boards, where the former Dream Wide Web users offer up game clues, are similarly quirky.

Webmaster is not perfectly user-friendly. Navigating its interface takes a few minutes of experimentation, as does absorbing the mechanics of gameplay. Players who prefer to skip tutorial sequences may find Webmaster rough going, at least at first. Computer-savvy parents may also balk at the blanket use of hacker as a negative term, rather than a value-neutral word for computer programmer. These few caveats will not diminish player enjoyment in the long term, however. Webmaster offers wholesome, varied, and challenging fun, to children and adults alike. –Alyx Dellamonica A dangerous hacker is threatening to destroy the heart of the Internet–can you stop him? The Internet is home to the Dream Wide Web, a virtual paradise. Its happiness is now threatened. Only you can stop the pathological hacker who threatens this realm and its inhabitants. In a breathtaking hunt through the labyrinths of the Internet, you have to find and beat Hacker. You will need all your wits about you as you gather clues by winning games and buying information from shady characters in the Internet’s seamy underbelly. This game is an entertaining introduction to the workings of the real Internet, and fosters problem-solving skills.
