We be stylin’

Following a style guide makes life easier. You don’t have to think about the details. Once you accept the usage of “website” as one word, lower case, that’s it. You don’t have to ponder Web site or Website each time you use the term. You know to spell out numbers one through nine and to use numerals for 10 and above. You don’t have to stop and think about it. And so on and so on. I am a life-long adherent to the Associated Press Style Guide; however, because writing for the Web calls for a different style, I follow the Yahoo Style Guide.
