Re: Creating a Style Guide, The Sequel

[Yves Barbion <ybarbion -at- uni-learning -dot- com>]

I have the following tips:

* Make the style guide (and the information in it) easily accessible to 
all. Put the style guide on a fixed spot in your network (or intranet), 
so that you can easily refer to it.

* Publish the style guide in a format which is easy to update and in 
which users can quickly find the relevant information. I find WebHelp or 
HTMLHelp (like The Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications) 
a very convenient one.

* Surely, the usage of fonts, company logo and colors has to be 
described as well, but focus on content and structural issues.




Good luck and best regards
