Principles of Technical Communication. This paper was written
for one of my Technical Writing Certificate courses. Our assignment
was to discover and convey "Ten Design Elements which are
essential for Effective Technical Writing." We were also to
give a 10 minute presentation of any aspect of our paper or
research.
Teach Yourself Basic HTML
(Part 1 •
Part 2)
This paper was written for one of the required courses for UMass
Lowell's Certificate in Technical writing, Software Writing.
(42-402-001) which I took as an independent study. The project
was to write an HTML manual. As part of the project, I had to
turn in a schedule and a document plan for the manual and to
meet this schedule and use the document plan. In addition, I
developed a tutorial for each chapter to highlight the tags learned.
This long article covers most of the ways to turn Kumihimo braids
into jewelry.
Quilting Patterns
These quilting block instructions are part of an ongoing project to
keep my writing skills up to date.
These directions were written for a quilting list I am on. We had
a block swap and we wanted to exchange pieced blocks of cats. I had
found a cat block that I liked but it was not 12-1/2 inches square,
so I adapted it.
These directions are for "chain piecing" a small 2 inch by 6 inch mouse
block which appeared in Quilter's Newsletter Magazine as a paperpieced
block. These mice blocks can be used as sashing for the cat block,
above.
Part 1 of how to make this quilt, made up of Buzz Saw blocks, details
how to make multiple half-square triangle units.
