Writing for the Web

When writing content for the web use:
  • Short paragraphs
    (it is difficult to read several sentences running together on the monitor)

  • Paragraph titles

  • Bullet points when you have a list over two items
Use the following techniques as well, but use them judiciously:
  • Bold only important words
    (never bold an entire paragraph)

  • A variety of color
    (keeping within approved OSU color scheme)

Here are two sample pages to help you understand the difference in writing for the web versus print.
