English 421Y: Technical Writing Online

With research mostly complete and a rough draft due Friday, this week was spent writing and organizing the content.

The few pieces of research I had to finish up were looking at objective criteria to compare the browsers and looking at Internet Explorer's features (so that I could make the IE section consistent with the Firefox and Opera sections. I fell behind early in the week with turning in an outline for my research and starting to edit some of the written sections. We were rushed toward the end of the week, and I hate to say it but it was mostly my fault.

I did turn in the outline and edit/comment on each section with enough time for revisions and layout. I also wrote the comparison section and created three or four charts to go along with it - which did not make it into the rough draft but will be in the final draft - and get all of the sections into one PDF using Adobe Acrobat through ITaP's Software Remote.

Next week, after the concerns with the white paper are addressed, I would like to have a round of review for each team member to get a chance to comment. After that round of revisions, I will do one final check of the grammar and mechanics to prepare to submit the final draft. I will also support the writer again as needed and help with the PDF again if necessary.
