TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Since our company's restructuring in October I've been given the title of
web admin (along with my regular help creation duties). It basically
entails updating HTML pages, which is just fine with me. The marketing
manager and I have agreed that the site navigation is more than lacking and
we want to make some major changes. Now I have some major decisions to make
on these changes and I don't have enough experience to do this.
We are going to get rid of the tab images that are not consistent throughout
the site and replace it with a simpler drop-down Java script menu type
header. I've had to add navigation links to the bottom of every page, since
search engine spiders sometimes take individual pages instead of the index
page that creates the frames with the navigation headers. Do we want to stay
with frames or should we be looking at templates or other format layouts? Do
we want to use Java script with a 128b link speed?
I am looking for tips on good books, sites and other lists that can help
answer these and other questions we have.
TIA for the point in the right direction.
