writing for the web

Dr. V Vorvoreanu

The document discusses how people read online content and provides tips for writing for the web. It notes that online readers scan pages rather than read linearly due to screens and vision fatigue. Effective online writing is concise, chunked into sections with headlines, uses meaningful links, and follows an inverted pyramid structure where most important information is at the top.
