		<description>Hi there. It was interesting of you to note that good written communication is essential for professional survival. Surprisingly, the majority of people believe that just because they 'know English', it is a given that they will be able to communicate effectively.

In fact, it is alarming to note that almost all web design firms do not have a full-time writer on their staff, when the textual structure and content is as equally important as a flashy look.

I am a writer and although many of my web-design clients have been quite impressed with the standard of my work, they still give less importance to the value of proper written content and often prefer to prepare the writing themselves. This is in spite of having seen the world of difference between their written work and mine.

It is indeed sad that enough respect has not been forthcoming for written communication and many writers suffer the insult of "your work is excellent but we think we can do with less superior material and save the money". Apparently, cost is given the higher priority than the quality of written communication.

On a separate note, I am pursuing avenues to conduct workshops on proper writing, including the elements of effective communication, as part of my goal to reach out to the masses. If you have any suggestions or know of opportunities, do point me in the right direction, thanks.

PS &#62;&#62; Practice makes perfect. But if you do not know what is right or wrong in the first place, you just might be practicing the wrong thing and likewise, perfecting the wrong practice...</description>

		<description>Thanks Tajim, like many things in this world, I guess writing is a skill that can be honed only through practise.

You can be sure I'll write every day!</description>
