Take a moment to read

I love reading various blogs, comments and training here at WA. My only issue is the amount of typos that come across my screen; most of the typos are just keying errors (space bar hit to early or to late). I have seen one or two comments that were typed as if they were text messages (no caps or punctuation marks); however, the worst type of error, typo or otherwise, is on a live website for the world to see...

I'm sure I have made the same kind of error in a post of mine, and if I haven't yet, I'm sure I will; we are not perfect creatures. I do recommend you type in Word (or whatever program you have available) and run your spell and grammar checks there and copy and paste your final work to WA or your website. I also recommend you read what you have written from the bottom up and from right to left at least once. This way you will catch words that may be spelled correctly but may not be the correct tense. Finally, don't be afraid to have someone proof read your work for you. Your brain will trick you and read what you meant to say, even if you leave off a letter or leave the entire word out.

You want to stand out as a professional, regardless of where you post. You are creating a name, a brand, of yourself and what your buying public sees will affect their purchasing decisions.
