Book Overview

The Web changes how people use content; not just content on the Web, but all content. If your content is not easy to find and immediately helpful, readers will move on almost at once. We are all children of the Web, and we come to any information system, including product documentation, looking for the search box and expecting every search to work like Google. There is no first, last, previous, next, up, or back anymore. Every Page is Page One.

For technical communicators, this Every Page is Page One environment presents a unique challenge: How do you cover a large and complex product using only topics, and how do you enable your readers to find and navigate topic-based content effectively?

In this ground-breaking book, Mark Baker looks beyond the usual advice on writing for the Web, and beyond the idea of topic-based writing merely as an aid to efficiency and reuse, to explore how readers really use information in the age of the Web and to lay out an approach to planning, creating, managing, and organizing topic-based documentation that really works for the reader.

About Mark Baker

Pareidolia is finding faces in everyday objects. This passion has grown into an obsession over the last few years and as a result, I've collected many photos some of which are shared in this book. The location mentioned next to each face represents where I was in the world when the face in the everyday objected looked back at me. As an illustrator, I have developed some of the faces from around the world into a set of characters which you can see throughout this book. You can learn more about these characters at www.the-mettas.com I hope you enjoy the faces as much as I did finding them.
