About the publication
Notes from the editing desk.
WebEditorBlog is about the decisions that turn a draft into a useful web page. We examine the headline, the evidence behind a claim, the structure of an article and the checks before publication. Examples are shown as examples, without invented editorial biographies.
What you will find here
Start with the current guides:
- The checks between a finished draft and a published page — A publication is more than its body text. Titles, addresses, sources and the next step all deserve a final read.
- Give the headline one job — A title should help a reader recognise the subject and decide whether the page answers their question.
- Keep a source ledger beside the draft — Save the claim and the supporting passage together, so the final link is more than decoration.
- Write an outage notice readers can use — Clear incident copy says what is affected, what readers can do and when you will update them. Leave the unverified explanation out.
How the material is presented
Practical examples are labelled, sources are linked from the relevant guide and older material remains in a separate archive. Product references are not a claim that a service has been independently benchmarked.
