posted by Lyn Lomasi The “Yahoo! Style Guide: The Ultimate Sourcebook for Writing, Editing and Creating Content for the Digital World” hit bookstores on July 6, 2010 and is one of the most comprehensive writing resources for Web content specialists, bloggers, UI designers and anyone working in the digital content field. If you’re an Associated Content Contributor, pick up a copy of this book (or snag one from AC’s giveaway — more details at the end of this post) so that you can find out exactly what type of content Yahoo! is looking for, how to fine-tune your writing for the Web, and how to deliver compelling, quality content consistently — Yahoo! style! I caught up with Chris Barr, one of Yahoo!’s managing editors, to learn more about the guide, and also picked up a few writing tips straight from the source.

A Must-Read for Those Who Want to Succeed on Associated Content Generally, I use this blog for updates to the site, writing tips, and for featuring great articles from fellow AC Contributors. But today I'm going to do something different. I haven't posted here in a while, so I wanted the comeback post to be a useful one and boy did I find something great to share. This is the first time I've reviewed a book on this blog and this one is definitely deserving. Most who write for AC likely know who Sabah Karimi is. If not, where have you been? She was named CP of the Year for 2008 and is still going strong. Her success proves that she is a credible source for information on how to succeed at Associated Content. She's now put all the information she gained during her time with AC right into an amazing resource called the AC Source Book to help out fellow writers. From the moment I started scanning the pages of the AC Source Book, I knew it was going to be an excellent resource for those trying to understand how AC works. If you're a new Associated Content Contributor or even a longtime one that hasn't quite figured out the inner workings yet, I believe that reading the AC Source Book will help a great deal. Karimi details each aspect of AC and every point that she makes in a format that's easy to understand even for novices. I wish I would have had something like this to help me along when I first joined Associated Content. Instead, I had to learn the hard way, by trial and error, like Sabah probably did too. As I started reading the AC Source Book, I was impressed by the accuracy of the information and the work that Sabah must have put into compiling it in such an organized format. I actually read through the entire thing in one sitting because I couldn't put it down. Newbies and those needing assistance on AC, if you ever listen to anything I say, I highly recommend taking my honest advice to listen at least this one time.
