Now the rebranded site has launched, I am back to building pages, editing copy, and refining the site’s structure and usability. I have also been giving some of the other website editors training in writing for the web – writing clear English, structuring copy so that it’s less effort for the reader, using best practice for accessibility, and following the EST’s house style. I hadn’t done website training since 2004, so this has been very enjoyable.I reckon the challenge is to make it less like an exam and more like a pub quiz – I’m working on it!

My role has been scaled down, so I’m looking for other work to supplement it.
