- Optional reference: Parsing sentences, for editors and rhetorical critics to get a sense of how sentences operate.
- Useful reference: Web Design Conventions. The StrunkNWhite of web design is The Web Style Guide, 3rd ed, Patrick J. Lynch and Sarah Horton, in print from Yale UP, and online. The guide is as prescriptive they come, and so it is useful in getting a sense of context for a rhetorical analyses of web sites.

Tips and Suggestions
- The Overwrite warning. If you save a page, then use the back button rather than double-clicking to get back to editing, you might get an Overwrite warning in red. That only means the wiki is confused. Select all the text you're editing, copy it, then Cancel the save. After you save, see if the version is complete. It usually is. But if not, double-click to edit the page, select everything, then paste the version you have on the clipboard into the wiki and save.
- Use RecentComments at the top of the page to check on FAQs.
