While writing their About Us page, businesses should also write an "About You" page about their visitors

So much time is spent belaboring the details of many company's About Us page, yet in most cases very little is documented about their About You, their audience, customers or potential clients. They don't have a handle on who they are, what is troubling them, why they need help, what sort of help they need. .. let alone the best ways to connect with those people.

Spend more time on About You: http://www.confluentforms.com/2015/07/defining-audiences-connecting-audiences.html

Defining your Audiences provides you with a strategic way of connecting with your website visitors and providing a higher rate of value and goal completions. Audience development is that important first step.

"hieratic, adj. Of computer documentation, impenetrable because the author never sees outside his own intimate knowledge of the subject and is therefore unable to identify or meet the expository needs of newcomers. It might as well be written in hieroglyphics.

Hieratic documentation can be all of complete, correct, and nearly useless at the same time. I think we need this word to distinguish subtle disasters ... from the more obvious disasters of documentation that is incorrect, incomplete, or poorly written simply considered as expository prose."

+Dick Davies You don't need teachers for testing, and you no longer need them for presentation. You need them for teaching, finding different ways to explain things so the kids finally get it, working one on one until the light goes on.

Drawing is making marks on paper. To draw well, you've got to practice. When I started drawing about 7 years ago, it didn't occur to me that I would {or could} get better. I didn't view learning-to-draw in terms of a learning curve {no pun intended}. My work for many years had involved data, accounting, process design... not drawing! But I was looking for something to do while the kids were taking swimming lessons. Drawing kept me b...
