A style guide for digital scholarship. Comments are in {!-- Curly brackets with comment markings --}

{!-- The style guide is meant to be more than a reference for practical advice, stylistic rules, and examples of good practice. I am also trying to present an argument for the importance of digital scholarship in the form of apps, dissertations, webapps, and blogs. While aimed mostly at writing, I think it will eventually expand to include videos, audio, presentation slides, and such (oh my goodness, academics seriously need help with their slides).

The hard part is finding the right balance of argument and advice. It will presented as a website with its design/layout as an example template. It’s intended to be extremely opinionated, but modular, so others can pick pieces they wish to use as a foundation for their own style guides. (This is sort of a precursor to a modular pattern library for assembling style guides I’ve been wanting to build for content strategy work.)

I haven’t put in many of the citations and annotations, but they’re currently in {curly brackets}. --}

Social Media Strategy

#Social Media Strategy

##About the Project

This was inspired by the Tiny Content Framework that focuses on “goals, messages, and branding.”

The Social Media Strategy collection is aimed at helping companies get started in planning their approach to social media. This is a bit of a template, and sprinkled with examples in each category. It should be a good starting point before a business dives head-first into whatever fancy social media outlet may be hot at the moment. (Tip: Find out what medium/outlet is best suited for your audiences before blindly signing up for accounts for whatever is the most popular at the moment. We used to think MySpace was going to rule the Earth for a while, until it faded into the background and gave way to Twitter, Facebook and the rest of the photo-sharing ones.)

Tiny Content Framework

About the project

This is a tiny content strategy framework focused on goals, messages, and branding. This is not a checklist. Use what you need and scrap the rest. Rewrite it or add to it. These topics should help you get to the bottom of things with clients and other people you work with.
