I just started writing for the web and formatting, inclusion of things like images, podcasts, lists and all that are so necessary. I started off with big chunks of text but know that they offer little in terms of readability. I'm slowly figuring out what helps to facilitate the reader and engage them through this medium. Being on the up and up helps to keep things interesting. Thanks for the post! Those resources are really helpful.

I've already used a lot of interactive material in my writing, but I haven't yet created any Podcasts, so the link to the FAQ is most appreciated. It's important to remember that interactive action should flow in many directions. For instance, when I wrote an article about Otis Redding last year for MSNBC.com, I asked the editor to add a link to my blog to my byline. You can see it at the very end (second page) of the story: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22189146/ The link definitely generated traffic to my blog. Thanks for all the useful links.

I do most of my writing online and could really use some good info. I try to be succinct, use bold type and bullets to set things apart, and write in chunks. But I really do need to read up on some good tips and techniques. Thanks so much for these great resources. I do most of my writing online and could really use some good info.
