Tipical Charlie
Welcome to Tipical Charlie, a repository of all kinds of tips related to computing, from web developer and technologist, Charlie Arehart.
I'll mostly share my own tips that I've found others enjoyed hearing about. I'll welcome tips from others, too.
(Wondering where I came up with the name?)

Do people find your emails or blog entries long-winded? Here's help...

posted Saturday, 9 September 2006

I'll be the first to admit that I've had problems with writing emails or blog entries that are too long and/or have more detail than some readers wanted to bother with. Perhaps you, like me, understand the problem from my perspective: I just want to make sure readers have all the context needed to avoid miunsderstandings. But it doesn't help if a reader simply chooses not to read the email at all. What to do?Well, I came across this interesting article and discussion thread that offers a few useful tips. Hope it may help others--and that I can remember them myself!
