Business development
Good project management is essential to the success of a documentation project. You can find out how we manage your documentation projects on the new PM section of the web site.
Visual branding helps business promotion, so we added a favicon (an image that appears in the browser address bar) to the TechScribe web site. Chami shows you how to do it, and provides an online tool for creating favicons (www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/).
Industry profile
TechScribe has launched a project to improve the rankings of the UK technical communications profession as a whole in search engine results (www.web-site-address.com). The project uses web site addresses that are related to the products and services that technical communicators sell.
Technical resources
A PDF file often contains hyperlinks so that people can easily navigate to different places in the file. Unfortunately, if a PDF file contains an index, the index rarely has hyperlinks, because until now there has been no easy way of creating them. This technical article shows you a new straightforward method of creating coloured hyperlinks in an index in a PDF file.
