Writing strategies

The internet sources provided through the class web page offer many suggestions to make hypertext more effective. I personally found the comments about textual writing to be very useful. Although the internet provides the opportunity to add additional media, the foundation the hypertext is the text! it makes sense that it should be descriptive and engaging. This can be achieved through varied sentence structure and by taking a definite stance in an argument.

Other web pages stressed the non sequential nature of hypertext as important to its composition. This is important to writing because each page must be able to stand on its own. Hypertext also provides the opportunity to provide exact links to references and allow for external insights from other authors.
