STYLE ME PERFECT

Your site may be launched, but you can't brush your hands off and say the job is over. And, no, this is not that old lecture on keeping things up-to-date. This is a suggestion that you create a style guide for your site--especially if your site is large or if a number of different people work on it.

Essentially, a style guide provides useful guidelines for the people who work on the Web site. As such, you want it to be broad enough to provide information on the mission and purpose of the site and give information on the style and tone AND detailed enough to give folks an idea of how to spell particular things that appear on the site (Street, instead of St., for example) or what sorts of words are appropriate to link to or from.
