What’s with the name of your blog?
Scott Adams created a character named Tina the tech writer for his comic strip Dilbert. She’s brittle, humorless, literal, and wonders why she doesn’t get any respect or interesting work. Like many caricatures, Tina has a basis in reality.
This blog will explore issues in technical communication and its professional association the Society for Technical Communication.
My previous blog can be found on LiveJournal. This covers my term as president of the Atlanta chapter. The President’s Blog

Holly, that’s for joining KeyContent.org. Look around and let us know if you have any questions. By the way, your blog entry on Jared Spool’s comment about tech writing is malformed — it should be http://www.uie.com/brainsparks/2007/05/16/where-did-technical-writing-go/. You might want to edit the syntax to make sure it displays and links correctly. Thanks for blogging. We’ll add a link on our site to yours. Keep up the good work!

I fixed that link.

Thank you, Susan!
I was in Shanghai two years ago. If I ever get back there, I’ll look you up!
