Hi, Lisa and All TCP Members. I guess Lisa isn't going to let us off the hook until we introduce ourselves (hehehe) so here's a quick introduction to Ed:
I have been a technical writer for 16 years, starting in training course development as a contractor for 3 years then gradually moving into my current position as a technical writer for a company that produces software and hardware for the concrete batching and construction materials industry. The industry is not all that glamorous but the job security more than makes up for it. I am the lone writer in our business unit and write everything from release notes to mini-user guides to HTML Help. In my daily duties, I use FrameMaker 7.0 and WebWorks Pro, along with a little PhotoShop, Snagit, and Visio. I am currently contacting a translator so we can translate our documentation and software into German to start and Russian, Portuguese, and Chinese on down the road. To break the monotony of technical writing, I skydive in the good weather months (I live in Ohio) and write articles about skydiving. I started jumping a long time ago but quit for 15 years because I couldn't afford to compete. That was a dumb move because I forgot why I started jumping in the first place - to have fun! Well, I've been back for 9 years and I'm enjoying it more than ever. I recently participated in a world record 113-way formation in California for skydivers 40 and over (most of us were WELL over 40). But enough about me...

To: email <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi everybody, Traffic to the TCP website and membership on the list have increased dramatically in the last week or so. Could you let me know where you heard about TCP? You're welcome to post your answer to the list, or you can write to me offlist. If you post to the list, why don't you also let us know what you do in your tech comm career? Also, I'm working on converting the site to Drupal and adding new features, like blog space. If anyone has worked with Drupal before and if you're willing to advise me a bit, I would greatly appreciate it!
