Writing on the Web: Rachel McAlpine

This 1995 vintage web site links to Rachel McAlpine books, blogs and other web sites, helping me to keep track of what I'm doing.

Writing on the Web is still an appropriate name. Obviously, I do a lot of writing, which is now mainly on the web. But my main business is Contented Enterprises.

Contented web sites

Alice Hearnshaw and I offer online writing courses that train people all over the world to write for today's electronic work environment. The short way to describe this is writing for the web—but don't get me started! Our courses particularly suit people who write at work, whether in government, educational, not-for-profit and business. Editors, journalists, teachers and corporate communications staff are also enthusiastic customers of Contented.

Contented: offering a web-based Diploma in writing content for web sites and intranets.
Quality Web Content: archive of free online articles for web content writers and web content managers.
Writing for Government: why everyone who writes for government needs superwriting skills to get ahead.

Other Rachel McAlpine sites

CC Press: my (very) small publishing enterprise.
Novella: a furnished apartment for short stays or holidays in Wellington.

Web sites where I'm heavily involved

Plain English Power: Read it. Get it. New Zealand network of plain English supporters.
Crows Feet Dance Collective: a fabulous dance group for women over 35. Meet the dancing grannies!

Rachel's blogs: mainly on other web sites

Content that makes people happy (blog about writing web content).
Old Lady Laughing: a more personal blog. Thoughts about ageing when the concept and reality of age keep shifting.
C for Blog: poems on the make or on the fly: all sorts of treasures here.
A for blog: poems from 2003-2007 — kind of fun.

Most of Rachel McAlpine's books


Writing on the Web was my first web site. An antique, it's still in simple HTML, which I hand code. This makes the content hard to control, so over the years Writing on the Web gets smaller and smaller. That's good.
