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.
Generally, I follow the Problem ... Resolution format because I believe that
matches the readers' viewpoint. If they want to know if a specific problem
they've encountered has been resolved, they're going to be looking for
something that describes that problem. How would they know what resolution
they're looking for?
BTW, my resolutions are often as simple as "This has been corrected." (When
the correction changes something substation, obviously, I note that.)
