TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Anthony asked about "standard" proofing marks. Besides the online and print
resources others on the list have recommended, I highly recommend
"Copyediting: A Practical Guide" by Karen Judd (at Amazon in paperback at http://www.igive.com/html/fmsw.cfm?vendorid=259&uuid=570927812305). This was
the text for the copyediting course I took ten (!) years ago, and it's
excellent.
It's a very handy text. The standard copyediting and proofing symbols are
inside the front cover (of the hardcover book, at any rate) for easy
reference. And, if you want to brush up on your copyediting and proofing
skills, you can always delve inside for review and even some exercises.
