best style guides for web based content

[CapDev Communications]

You might want to take a look at The Columbia Guide to Online Style by
Janice R. Walker and Todd Taylor (1998) Columbia University Press, ISBN:
0-231-10789-7. There is also the Wired Style: Principles of English Usage in
the Digital Age by Constance Hale and Jessie Scanlon (1999) Broadway Books,
ISBN: 0-7679-0372-2. Yes, they are a bit dated, but you will find some
answers about why we now use certain conventions.
