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.
Without taking the time to actively check each chapter, does anyone else
have a local chapter whose web page doesn't work? I wouldn't know if
there's a job posting link because the site doesn't seem to exist. Becoming
a STC member is something I've put off for a while now, but there's no
functional local chapter page. (I'm in region 1, under Niagara Frontier.)
To be honest, I don't know if there's a functional chapter at this point.
I only confess to knowing one other tech writer in the Buffalo area, and
he's a former student employee of mine! I thought a little local networking
might be a good thing, because I'm getting tired of feeling like I'm on an
island, but there doesn't seem to be much going on, insofar as I can tell.
Speaking of islands, am I the only person on this list working for a
college or university writing end-user documentation? I know I have
colleagues out there somewhere, but sometimes I feel like everyone else is
in private industry and I'm the ugly duckling who doesn't quite fit in,
although I seem to have many of the same issues. If anyone else does this,
can you contact me off-list to compare how things are done? Thanks.
