The Difference About Writing for the Web

• What's unique about writing for the Web?
  
• How netizens read
• How to satisfy reader habits on the Web

Netizens are you call them, or viewers as I do, have their hands in so many places that its hard. The web is a unique place because you can write all of your relevant content and then you can add extra pages for people that want to read more. You can post entire photo galleries instead of having to carefully select which picture is going to go on the front page that day.

People interact with you, posting everything from insightful to crude comments on your stories. If they like your story they can take it and move chunks of the information on to their own website or provide a link to your story. Much more simple than the newspaper clippings of the past.

You have to think like a scanner or viewer. Not like a newspaper writer. You have to be able to do everything and you have to be able to do it well otherwise there is no point in going on with the work. You need to format it in an F shape so that your readers can clearly see what works and what does not.
