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.
Assuming the concern is with the paragraph in the article that
suggests:
Look for pages you like on the Web, save them into
your page-making program, then cut out the content
on the pages and put yours in.
This is quite a common suggestion from those who would teach HTML. I
can't recall exactly which books I've seen this in, but I read a few
texts when I was learning HTML and I did see that suggestion posed.
The authors suggested using existing web pages almost as a template
for creating your won.
I'm not advocating the practice, just mentioning that it is more
widespread that we might think.
