Hi All, My first post to this group and it's a privilege to be here.
First on my list is trying to get outta here a.s.a.p. and land a job back home in the states. Work wise, just finished user guides for the City of Johannesburg Fleet Africa management team and for the local General Motors ISUZU management group. On the skills side, I'm constantly trying to improve my xhtml 1.1, css, xml and related markup languages. Also, I'm concentrating on full accessibility to my web-based work, as well as trying to become competent in an object orientated managed language, i.e. C#. Related to the profession, I just finished another Fast Track tutorial entitled "Creating Accessible Tabular Data Tables" which can be viewed at http://frank.helpware.net. My apologies if this is cross-posting, cause I also mentioned it on the HATT list. That's me at the moment, and hi to everyone I've communicated with through the lists over the years. :-) Kind regards, Frank M.

This could be an application, a methodology, or something else you feel is important to your career. I myself have a rather long list: * How to write help * Variables, conditional text, text insets in unstructured FrameMaker * Structured FrameMaker * InDesign * PhotoShop (have it, use it, but know I'm not fully using its power) * Software documentation, including APIs * Project management * More than the basics of HTML * Indexing * Usability testing Of course, my boss would just be happy if I remembered to do my timelog and other adminstrative requirements on time. I'm getting better--like the article said, 15% improvement a year! :) Lisa B. > I thought this article was interesting.
