About STC
The Society for Technical Communication advances the theory and practice of technical communication across all user abilities and all media. STC’s 8,000 members produce everything from traditional user manuals to the latest web-based interactive tutorials, all with the goal of conveying complex information in a way people can receive, understand, and use.
About Your Friendly Neighborhood Blogger
Your Friendly Neighborhood Blogger is the alter ego of STC Media Manager Kevin Cuddihy, one of the friendly and smiling staff members at the main STC offices in Fairfax, Virginia (referred to as Stately STC Manor in the blog). Kevin took over the blog from its originator, Tara Ebrahimi, in September 2009, and is constantly working to grow it into a valuable and entertaining publication for STC members and the technical communication field as a whole. A longtime writing/editing/PR/marketing/etc. guy, Kevin strives to put a little bit of all of that into STC’s Notebook. Please email Kevin with any ideas, questions, or comments you might have.
