Session description

In this lightning talk, you'll learn or get a refresher on at least 10 things you can do right now to improve your (or your team's) writing for the web -- from the mechanical to the creative.

Even if we know the rules, sometimes we fall into bad habits or, other times, we make mistakes in haste because, well, we're all wearing multiple hats. Relevant to writers of all levels, especially to those who do so under "other duties as assigned."
