New Millennium, New Columns

So Many Topics, So Little Time

Taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, we realized mid-week we couldn't possibly cover everything about professional web sites in this issue. So we're starting several series and adding some new columns. Site development from the beginning starts the new Step-by-Step column. The first "On Focus", a new column covering a specific industry, business or career,spotlights writers and we provide an exhaustive online resource for writers and speakers to boot. The first of a 3 part series by B.E. Warne, web site promotions specialist, tells you how to improve your online success before you even begin building your site. We do a background check on your site and then tell the unrepentent how to make it big while remaining in the background. And for those in a rush, we give you instant style before sending you to the complete authority.

And be sure to spread the word about Elements of Web Style to your mailings lists, organizations and newsgroups.
