Up, up and away

Welcome to SmyWord. Here we go.

First off I’ll put up some portfolio pieces and then I’m keen to get the conversation going. Balanced with the actual content work I do I’ll be able to post 1-2 times per week, on content strategy, writing for the web, grammar and style, communication, and a bit of psychology (because we’re humans writing for humans after all).

I’m keen to bring some energy to the dialogue about writing for the web. It seems that at last people are starting to take content seriously. They are realising that they can’t just throw in some words at the end of a project, or expect the developers or designers to do it for them.

I want to raise the bar. Say that it’s not just important; it’s the most important thing of all.

I’ve got a few things to chip in about content strategy and lots to learn from others. So go ahead and write a comment. Or contact me directly. If you’re enjoying the posts why not subscribe and get them in your reader? Or in your inbox?

The twitterati can find me here.

And in a naive display of benevolence I’m offering a free sample of my work. All you’ve got to do is ask.

I hope you enjoy the blog and I look forward to the conversation.

PS. If you’re looking for the pink paper boat, erm, it was a metaphor.
