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.

With the US celebration of Independence Day comes another American
tradition—baseball’s All Star Break. That period between July 4th and the
“Midsummer Classic” that pits the stars of the American League against
those of the National League. Baseball fans get to vote on who the All
Stars will be each year, and the game is accompanied by hoopla of involving
fans and sponsors, the inevitable seventh inning stretch, and the partaking
of mass quantities of hot dogs, peanuts, and various adult beverages.
TechWhirl presents its own All Star Break, in which we bring back the top
five posts of 2012, as “voted” on by our global audience of technical
communicators who’ve clicked the appropriate links and read through the
mass quantities of great content relevant to how we practice technical
communication.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy the content, feel free to post comments or
start a new thread on the email discussion
list<http://www.techwr-l.com/rules-expectations.html>.
You’re on your own for the hot dogs and beer. Have a great weekend.
