TechWhirl: Technical Communication Recap for April 25, 2014

[TechWhirl Admin <admin -at- techwhirl -dot- com>]

To be honest, I didnât have much luck trying to find a theme that ties
together all the great content we published this with discussions going on
in the TechWhirl community, and the world at large. So in the best
tradition of the *Jeopardy!* quiz show categories, consider this Potpourri.
Take a little DITA adoption, mix it with some help on email management, add
drop or two of content optimization prioritization, throw in some curated
stuff from our friends around the web, and bake it in with some cool
discussions on acrobat, word, resumes, and Markdown, and there you go.
Potpourri thatâs useful without the smelly part that makes you sneeze.
