Writing for the Web World
Whether you are writing for the Web or converting a document to a Web page for someone else, it is important that you remember the medium. After all, we don't read on the Web the way we read a book or magazine. First, consider trimming down the document to only the facts. Use the power of hyperlinks to include only the main points on the first page of your document. Then if the viewer is interested, she can click through to the next, more in-depth page.
Also, try to keep the paragraphs shorter than you might on a paper copy. Long blocks of text make it difficult for the reader to browse through the document for information.
