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.
I second Cheryl's recommendation! Judy Tarutz did a great job on this book. JoAnn Hackos has a good book that's focused on online/web writing (but is a little out of date): _Standards for Online Communication_. Not sure if she's updated it lately. It isn't really a checklist, though.
