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.
John Posada requested: <<To everyone who posts a URL to a site,
especially if you are selling something from it.... when you enter a
URL that starts with www, in most cases, it appears as plain text.
However, if you precede it with http://, it will appear as a live
hyperlink. If I have to copy the text to a browser and paste it in the
address box of my browser, I probably won't bother unless I'm
motivated.>>
On the other hand, if I remember correctly, live links will be
intercepted by some e-mail software (Outlook?) and treated as spam
because of the risk of URL spoofing and phishing. That might not be
what you're aiming for either.
So maybe it's best to just ignore John and focus on the rest of the
market? <gdrlh>
