Useful Resources

My background is in user assistance and documentation that uses plain language and accessibility. Here are some guides I use when I have a question.

Style guides

I generally follow the Good Developer Documentation Style Guide and the Microsoft Writing Style Guide. I use these for computer, interface, and software terms, unless otherwise noted. The other important resource I use are:

• The Chicago Manual of Style, 18th ed.
• Plain Language Action and Information Network
• Diversity Style Guide

The Punctuation Guide is useful for all things punctuation.
