    Have you got any good examples of an 'informal voice' in web copy?

    Debt collection agencys

    Yes £1,000 is an issue, £100 is an issue, £10 is an issue. You miss the point. I only pursue this route if I feel I am being mislead, lied to or taken for a ride on 'well overdue' invoices. Carl.

    Blogging tips

    Think of your blog as a dynamic book (expanding and growing over time); your 'categories' are your chapters and your 'tags' would be sticky flag bookmarks pointing at specific areas throughout your book (tied in with your keywords) that can be seen (indexed on the web) without even opening your...

    Newsletter

    I like this tip. It's a nice useful way of getting unsolicited emails read.

    Should marketers understand design better?

    I wondered what the consensus was from fellow marketers in regards to how much depth a marketer needs to go, if any, to truly understand and add value to the design process for print and web campaigns.
