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.
Like any other profession, or "racket" we have to do some self promotion.
Sell the sizzle.

Two of our main products just came out with a new major version. A few beta
cutomers were signed up. I'd created the migration documents, a process
mandatory if you had the previous version of the application.
Technical Support would not attempt the migration with the customer without
my documents.
