Writing
- The Chicago Manual of Style is the bible of publishing.
- Purdue University's Online Writing Lab has both the APA and MLA style guides.
- William Strunk, Jr.'s The Elements of Style is a "classic reference book [that] is a must-have for any student and conscientious writer."
Geek Stuff
- Firefox is, IMHO, the best web browser currently available.
- HTML Goodies will "help new and growing website developers learn their trade, and to provide them with tips, guides and reference sets for their use as they become more accomplished."
- Jakob Nielsen's alertbox, reports, and books on usable information technologies.
- The Not-so-deep Thoughts on Web Design is my quick and dirty guide to web design for authors.
- The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) "develops interoperable technologies (specifications, guidelines, software, and tools) to lead the Web to its full potential."
Fun Stuff
- The Purple Dictionary of Historical Romance is absolutely hilarious! With things like "Cod piece: Fillet of cod, served rolled and protruding; can be very filling," how can it not be?
- The Purple Prose Parody is for romance readers and non-romance readers alike. Sometimes I laughed so hard, my sides hurt.
