I recently got a gig writing for an online photography blog.
The process has been frustrating, to say the least. Over the past
week or so, the editor has been complaining that my embedded product
links aren't working. I had a couple of very basic problems with
wordpress, but got them sorted out, and he kept saying that they
aren't working. I finally realized that what he wanted, was to have
the links embedded in the code<a href=link.to.page.html>nifty piece
of kit</a> and not the link at the bottom of the page, where I'd
look for it if I wanted to track it down.
When I asked him about the style guide listing aperture in the format
F/2.8 rather than the more common f/2.8 he said that was how he
learned it at a previous website. I did a quick google search of
that website, and for the most part they use lower case.
He had also complained about my interspersing my replies with his
mail, rather than top posting, and the fact that I'd trim the old
replies from my mail.
This is going to be interesting.
Yeah, generally when you're working for someone else you have to do it
the way they want it done even when they're wrong.
