There is some very good advice here, especially for those contemplating launching their very first website.

I especially like the implication made that “web readers have very short attention spans” and want writers to immediately “get to the point.”

If you are over a certain age you are what I call part of the “Shakespeare Generation.” Don’t worry, I fall into that category too and have had to unlearn what many of my high school and college teachers once taught me about good writing skills.

Yes, there is still a place for “flowery” writing styles in books and magazines, but not on the Web. Not in blogs or on websites. Readers just don’t want to take the time to wade through lots of text to find what they are looking for. Keep it comprehensive and concise. KEEP IT SHORT. There is a reason Twitter only allows you to use 140 characters.

I understand that but where does it take us?

If at first you don’t succeed, failure may be your style.
