Everything you wanted to know about File Naming Conventions but were afraid to ask! Beth Haggerty discussed some common problems with file naming and provided a few tips to make your file hunting or information management easier. Learn the best practices for applying a naming convention to your files and increase your ability to find information quickly and improve productivity.
Beth wants to stamp out and Stop List Frustration! Punctuation is critical to good communication but with texting and the ability to self-publish on the Internet the rules have sadly eroded, especially when writing lists. Even technical writers can find lists confusing and fall into bad punctuation habits. Learn simple guidelines on when to use a numbered or a bulleted list: know the three bullet list types and how to punctuate them correctly.
Beth Haggerty, well experienced in writing for technology companies, has certification in Technical Communications Management, Information Mapping, and Advanced Madcap Software. A certified Metadata Specialist, she’s fanatical about creating intuitive taxonomies to drive information consistency and findability. She’s also the comedic podcaster of justSayIT, Technical Writers LAUGH.
