Our weekly review of technical communications and beyond includes a tribute to Valentine’s Day, that actually goes beyond our weekly poll question. So much of what we do depends on relationships with others, other technical writers, SME’s, and our customers. This week’s eye-catching posts touch on all three of these, with great stuff on user experience, collaboration (with a tip of the TecWhirl cap to David Kowalsky guest authoring on The Content Wrangler), and worthwhile advice to everyone who inhabits a niche in the technical writing universe–SME motivation. Plus a generous helping of technical communications news you should know about.
