Good Writing

In the ongoing effort to help writers (especially online) get started and improve, here are some websites with useful articles:

Perhaps extending the guidelines to email would be good practice. A recent message to Writer's Edge referred to "good writting". I visited the would-be author's website and also found "writting" in the copy. Such simple spelling mistakes encourage screaming and shouting here, as does writing the name of the language as "english" (always capitalize proper names).
