you want ultimate guide
1. Call Us

Probably the speediest approaches to connect with us is to call our help line legitimately. The principle number is anything but difficult to recollect: 1-888-HUBSPOT ext. 3 (1-888-482-7768 ext. 3). You can likewise utilize the "Select your country..." dropdown here to locate our universal numbers, in case you're calling from outside the US.

When you click the "Help" catch in your entryway, we'll propose some famous articles dependent on the page you're on, and you can look through the information base legitimately from the Help gadget.

help-gadget search-bar.pngOur US workplaces are situated in Cambridge, MA and Portsmouth, NH, where bolster reps are accessible from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. EST.

2. Email Us

In any case, consider the possibility that you have an increasingly broad inquiry or if your issue isn't so time delicate (or in the event that you simply don't have sufficient energy to jump on the telephone immediately. In those cases, you can email us by picking the "Email me" choice in the Help gadget. We endeavor to react to these tickets inside one business day, so this is unquestionably not the best alternative for times when the issue is pressing.

An advantage of sending an email ticket is that it enables you to join screen captures of the issue you're seeing. Counting a screen capture enables our group to analyze what may happen quicker, giving us understanding into potential arrangements or work-arounds.

Another example you might need to utilize the email strategy is the point at which you're hoping to share the appropriate response you get with different colleagues. In those cases, the reaction you get from your email ticket acts like a custom information base article that you can go along to your group and allude back to at later focuses. A genuine case of this is a procedure question — a circumstance where you're searching for well ordered directions, yet you're not finding that procedure depicted in an article in our Academy information base.

demand a-callback.png

When you present a callback demand, the case is alloted to an individual from the group who at that point calls you close to your solicitation being submitted. This makes it a decent choice for times when you'd like to talk with a help rep yet in addition keep doing other work while the help rep gets a kick off on examining your case. Along these lines, proceed, put the completing addresses that other email meanwhile!

It's essential to take note of that the "Call me" choice isn't proposed for booking a call at a particular later time. At the point when the alternative is accessible, it implies a help rep is prepared to react to your case inside minutes — there may not be that equivalent accessibility later in the day.



4. Ask the HubSpot Community

In case you're searching for increasingly broad HubSpot counsel, or if your gateway does not approach the Help gadget, never dread! There is a whole network brimming with HubSpot clients and accomplices you can submit inquiries to. The people group is checked by explicit help reps and engineers who help react to strings to point people the correct way. You can likewise look past strings, making this choice a decent asset for discovering cool new HubSpot stunts.

5 Signs You Were Born to Be a Blogger

No comments
Pro the SAT composition segment? Want to telecommute sometime in the not so distant future? Continuously take a gander at the world pondering, well, might we be able to improve?

In the event that this sounds like you, these might be signs you were destined to be a blogger.

Quit disregarding the signs and grasp your calling!

In this post I'll uncover five normal models from this present reality which could be your reason for living to begin a blog, alongside a couple of models from my very own blogging-filled life. Every model incorporates a "what it implies for you" segment where I share guidance on what you should pay special mind to in reality. Ideally you can utilize these goodies to pick up an edge on your opposition, make a blog, and begin blogging forever, as well.


On the off chance that you simply realize this is you – perhaps you previously observed the sign (Ace of Base, anybody?) – at that point HostGator can help!

Dispatch your blog effectively today like a great many other new bloggers have finished with one of their common web facilitating plans.

Make Your Blog 


Sign #1: You're the most technically knowledgeable individual at your organization

destined to be a tech bloggerLet's begin appropriate off with the obvious reality where you're the go-to (or possibly the main) educated individual in your office space.

In this situation, everybody comes up to you asking, "How would I fix my web?" or, "What's going on with my messages?" and you wind up helping them. You are over-skilled at innovation and have a talent for critical thinking, yet perhaps your organization doesn't perceive on the grounds that they need you to finish certain different undertakings. When I worked for the NYC City Hall this was everyday reality – I was the quintessential "web-fellow." I endure it for a long time before understanding these abilities were increasingly important in the blogosphere and never thought back.

What it implies for you: 


It's a good time for such a long time doing technical support for a business or organization without acknowledgment, particularly when you can go get that acknowledgment by beginning a blog. With your very own blog, you get the chance to fabricate a readership who values your work through remarks, offers and genuine web based life measurements. Genuine bloggers and bloggers-to-be perceive their specialized ability is important and put it to use to assist the world, not some partnership.




Sign #2: You composed expositions medium-term and still got A's 


Extraordinary scholars make incredible bloggersIf you were somebody like me who spared expositions and research papers until the most recent night were as yet sure you could complete them, that is an unmistakable sign you were destined to be a blogger.

You can compose quick and proficiently on the grounds that your mind realizes what it needs to state and you nearly observe the words on the paper before they are composed! Any individual who composed extraordinary expositions in secondary school or school has a shot at being an incredible blogger. You would be flabbergasted by how ineffectively the absolute best web journals are composed – and should realize you can improve without anyone else point of decision!

What it implies for you: 


This one isn't only a sign yet in addition motivation. On the off chance that you were great at composing articles rapidly, you'll likely have the option to wrench out blog entries for individuals to peruse, as well. Here's the place the motivation comes in: your expositions generally got destroyed, while your blog entries will live always and be seen by WAY more individuals!

Sign #3: You have held an assortment of instructing positions

instructors make extraordinary bloggersIf you were a coach, partner educator or are simply normally great at clarifying things, it's 100% a sign you can prevail in the blogosphere!




What it implies for you:

There is a huge amount of incentive in being a decent instructor on the blogosphere. For each specialty (account, how-to, cultivating, cooking, gaming, business, and so forth), there are a million inquiries individuals pose in Google each day and Google preferences showing web journals with great how-to's as the appropriate responses. Make your blog one of these assets and you're the greater part approach to turning into an outstanding blogger. Obviously, there is a huge amount of incentive in educating in reality, as well, yet why not do both?

Sign #4: You need to acquire cash on the web

Profit as a bloggerBlogging is a phenomenal method to profit online through fundamental and ordinarily acknowledged roads like Google Ads, private advertisement systems, item referrals, offshoot programs, and notwithstanding composing posts for remuneration.

On the off chance that you have attempted different intends to win some trade from time spent out front of the PC (contributing, gaming, dream sports), however maybe absent much achievement, blogging is a progressively healthy course that can positively furnish you with salary as an end-result of your diligent work and time spent.

What it implies for you:

The exhortation here is quite basic: begin as soon as possible. Any individual who has seen the signs they ought to be a blogger and followed up on them will disclose to you that beginning before long is critical. The sooner you begin the learning procedure, the sooner you can begin evaluating various things to make your blog a gainful one. Not to make you feel excessively old, however there's an extraordinary Pat Flynn post from 2008 clarifying his disappointment at not beginning sooner in light of income lost.


Sign #5: You've generally been a characteristic maker

Inventive bloggersIf you have consistently made things, from notice sheets to front room fortresses you could play with among companions and hotshot to your folks, it's a noteworthy sign blogging is likely to work out for you.



What it implies for you:

Take your inventive forces to the web. Begin with a straightforward epic blog entry, or a lot of littler posts that tie together into an extreme guide. When you begin a WordPress blog with HostGator, you get boundless posts, pages, pictures, and space for transferring your work. Make a blog about any specialty and begin blogging quickly to demonstrate the world how extraordinary you are and uncover your concealed gifts. Indeed, even it appears to be unnerving to be a maker on the web, you totally should give it a shot and have my certification that you'll appreciate it after a little practice.

There you have it, five out of maybe many signs you were intended to be a blogger. As I stated, it very well may be terrifying beginning a blog starting with no outside help, yet that is the reason HostGator is here to help. Have you seen any of these signs? Drop a snappy remark from your experience – who knows, chances are you're not the only one and you could rouse somebody with a comparative encounter to construct a blog as well!

RoboCop” and “HLMT” Redux? Don’t Repeat Old Mistakes

No comments

If you have any experience in technical communication, you’ve seen, and even made, mistakes. Maybe it was the wrong technology or authoring tool. Maybe it was a project definition that took the wrong path. Such mistakes aren’t surprising; we work in a complex and rapidly changing field.

Many of these mistakes are silly in retrospect. But silly mistakes can also have big repercussions. And the worst thing is to make the same mistake twice. This might seem unlikely but staff turnover erases the “corporate memory”. We don’t learn from our mistakes.

This article describes various mistakes that I’ve been called to consult on, and lessons to be learned from them as we move toward Information 4.0 or whatever the future will be called. Some of the lessons will seem obvious. Others may not be until they’re pointed out.

The mistakes that I describe may make the clients seem incompetent; nothing could be further from the truth. (I would trust the hospital staff to take out my appendix; I just wouldn’t trust them to insert an image into a Word document.) The problem was simply that the clients were moving rapidly into new and usually unfamiliar waters. As they so often are today…

Misunderstanding the Terminology

Some of the most memorable mistakes come from misunderstanding the terminology behind a project. What’s the difference between a “staging server” and a “production server”, for example?

Me: “What browser do you use?”
Client: “What’s a browser?”
Me: “How do you access the company’s intranet?”
Client: “We click that blue “e” icon in Windows. Do you know what that is?”

A forward-thinking client asked me to put some documentation online and move it to an intranet. There were major differences between browsers at that time so it was reasonable to ask what browser they used. The conversation above is almost a word-for-word summary of my discussion with them.

The problem was that the concept of the internet was so new that few people understood the terminology. This was in 1997.

Client: “What is HLMT anyway?”

A client turned to me during a meeting and asked what “HLMT” was. I said I didn’t know. He said he was surprised because it had to do with the web so he assumed I’d know. The light dawned and I said that it was actually “HTML”, the code basis for the web. The client thanked me. This was in 2000.

Client: “Cut and paste? Yes, of course. We use scissors and double-faced tape.”

A client wrote procedure documents in Word, leaving white space for images. They would then copy the images out of medical textbooks, cut them to fit the white space, and paste them in with double-faced tape after printing the documents.

The problem was that the client was interpreting “cut and paste” in everyday terms, rather than in PC terms. (Never mind the innumerable copyright violations.) This was in 2003.

The lesson – Misunderstanding the basic terminology or trying to apply analogies from everyday life like cut and paste wasn’t surprising in the late 1990s. Twenty years later, such misunderstandings still occur because the terminology is still often new and confusing. (“What’s ‘mobile’?”)

All direct and indirect participants in a project have to understand at least the basic terminology in order to avoid talking past each other. Never assume that everybody is speaking the same language.


Misunderstanding the Technology

Equally memorable mistakes come from misunderstanding the technology behind a project.

Client: “WebHelp vs. Web Help”

A company got confused between WebHelp and Web Help. A staffer then wrote an RFP for a WebHelp consultant only to have the approving manager fix what appeared to be an obvious typo and change “WebHelp” to Web Help”.

The problem was that the two formats were totally different. It took several days to figure out what the company was really asking for in order to help them fix the RFP.  (To this day, I always refer to WebHelp as “WebHelp one word” because of that incident.) This was in 1998.

Client: “HTML Help vs. HTML help”

A company got confused over HTML Help vs. HTML help. The company used a help authoring tool called ForeHelp to create the online help project and expected to get the “tri-pane window” in the output. For some reason, it didn’t work. The software vendor’s normally excellent support people couldn’t figure out what the problem was. This went on for ten months.

The problem was that when the author called support and reported the problem creating the tri-pane in HTML “help”, the support reps heard HTML “Help” and asked if the author had compiled. The author didn’t understand what “compiled” meant, assumed that it meant to create the project, and said yes. At that point, the support reps were at a loss. The solution took two mouse clicks, one to compile and one to view the result. This was in 1999.

Client(s): “We’re going mobile!”

A company’s three divisions decided to go mobile but never defined what “mobile” meant. Each division therefore went mobile in a different way, based on its understanding of “mobile”.

The problem was that the term “mobile” is too vague. It could refer to an app, a PDF file, or responsive output from a help authoring tool. And, in fact, the three divisions used those three definitions. This made it impossible to coordinate an enterprise-wide mobile effort and caused political problems because no division wanted to abandon its effort in favor of another division’s. This was in 2017.

The lesson – Misunderstanding the technology, like misunderstanding the terminology, wasn’t unusual in the late 1990s when everything was new and confusing. Companies often failed to recognize how confusing the technologies could be. The same holds true today, just for different technologies. (What’s a “bot”?) But misunderstanding the technology can lead to buying the wrong authoring tools, buying the right tools and using them the wrong way, hiring the wrong writers, or all three.

All direct and indirect participants in a project have to understand at least the basics of the technology in order to avoid talking past each other. Never assume that everybody is speaking the same language. (It’s a good idea to hold some education sessions for all the participants. Some will get annoyed at what seems like a waste of time, but I tell clients that it’s better to have people mildly annoyed at an apparent waste of time than to have them really annoyed when the project goes awry.)

Misunderstanding the Workflow

Misunderstanding the terminology and technologies can lead to inefficient or just bad workflows.

Client: “Cut and paste? Yes, of course. We use scissors and double-faced tape.”

The same issue as described earlier.

The problem was that the misunderstanding of the terminology lead the client to create an incredibly inefficient workflow. Again, this was in 2003.

Client: “We use "authoring tool X". We were never trained on it so we use instructions that were written by a former member of the doc group.”


This is common.

The problem is that the workflow may have changed since the original author wrote the instructions. The tool probably has. And the original author may have made mistakes in the instructions that have been passed on between generations of authors. The result is that the project’s foundation is becoming increasingly unstable. This was in any year ranging from 1995 to today.

Client: “We create online and print outputs from our help authoring tool so we create two stylesheets, one for the online and one for the print.”

This is also common.

The problem is that the authoring tool may have features that can streamline this workflow such as the ability to create one stylesheet with two mediums, one for online and one for print. But the writers must be familiar with the tool or trained on it to know that these features exist. This was in any year ranging from 1995 to today.

Client: “We were wondering what those ‘styles’ things were.”

Writers for a real estate company used Word to write their company’s procedure manual, each writing a different section. The writers didn’t use styles. Instead, they did local formatting. They were sharp enough to realize the need for consistency and developed a set of formatting standards.

The problem was that they invariably deviated from those standards. When it was time to combine each writer’s output to create the final manual, they had an enormous amount of cleanup to do to make the formatting consistent. This was in 2011.

The lesson – Misunderstanding terminology or tool features often leads to inefficient or just plain wrong workflows that require work-arounds. In the past we had the time to fix the problems or do the work-arounds, often by hand, because the time-to-market requirements for our documentation were looser than they are today. Today, as content becomes increasingly important to your company, making the workflow efficient and effective is becoming crucial.

Justification to Management

Mistakes in justifying buying new software and training employees to use it can be harmless, or they can lead a company down the wrong path.

Client: “My daughter came home from college and said ‘Dad! The company has to start creating online help!’ and I said ‘Okay!’”

A manufacturing company division manager put his division on the road to online documentation based on that statement from his daughter who was home from college. There was so little guidance in the old days that the manager could tell his IT manager (tellingly, not the documentation manager) to buy whatever tool seemed appropriate, with no needs assessment or tool evaluation. That was justification to management in a simpler era, 1996.

Client: “We have an HTML tool that we adopted in 1999 and it seems to be working fine except for a few minor problems.”

A federal agency had gone online in 1999 and found the experience so difficult that they didn’t want to repeat it. But the old tool was no longer supported and no longer followed modern coding practice – it was a dead end. The only solution was to buy a modern authoring tool and convert thousands of pages from the old HTML-ish format to XHTML. It was going to be a very tough job but management didn’t want to change, instead telling the writers to create work-arounds to the problems. That was in 2015.

The lesson – Justifying the cost of a new technology or tool was easy when documentation wasn’t taken seriously. But documentation/content today must increasingly fit into corporate environments and support corporate business and strategic goals (not technical communication goals), has become more complex and expensive, and must compete with other ideas being presented to management. Proponents need to present and defend it on the business grounds of how it benefits the company. Any other approach is likely to fail.

General Silliness

I’ll end with two mistakes that suggest just how easy it is to go wrong.


Client: “We want to use Doctor Help but we can’t find it.”

I gave a presentation to the Boston chapter of the STC (Society for Technical Communication) in 1993. In that presentation, I mentioned various help authoring tools including Doc-to-Help. An attendee called me a week later to ask where she could find “Doctor Help”. I told her I’d never heard of it. She said that I had specifically mentioned it in the presentation. We eventually realized that when she heard me say “Doc-to-Help”, she assumed that I was speaking in a Boston accent (the “r” at the end of a word is often ignored so that “park the car” comes out as “pahk the cah”) and meant “Doctor Help”. But her company wasted several days looking for “Doctor Help”.

And finally…

Client: “We want to use RoboCop!”

A division of a manufacturing company used “Lotus Notes” to put its documentation online. During a visit to another division, the manager saw their online documentation, liked its format better than what Notes could create, asked how they created it, and was told “We use Robo-something.” He told his IT manager to switch their online documentation from “Notes” to “RoboCop”. The IT manager spent a month searching for it before finally stumbling over “RoboHelp”. This was in 1995.

The lesson – Some mistakes are just so odd and silly that they’re hard to defend against. But they suggest that you check your basic assumptions carefully when you start a project and re-check them over the duration of the project in the face of changing technologies.

Summary

It’s easy to summarize this article. Companies are continually moving into new, confusing, and rapidly-changing areas that lie outside their core competencies. Because of this, it would be surprising if a company did not make mistakes. But as the complexity of the technology goes up and time-to-market goes down, the cost of mistakes goes up as well. So while we’ll never avoid making mistakes, we can at least try not to repeat the mistakes of the past.

GUI Information 4.0 Tools: A Proposed Feature Set – Comments

No comments

Primer 


In my article about a proposed list of capabilities for GUI Information 4.0 composing apparatuses in the Summer 2019 issue of Communicator, I mentioned remarks and criticism regarding the matter. I present those remarks in this subsequent article as I got them, with no altering but to abbreviate a couple because of space limits. The remarks show up underneath in generally the request wherein I got them. I introduced each remark, or set of remarks, with the creator's name and Twitter handle in intense. (In case you're struck by the appearing sloppiness of the remarks, recollect this is a tweet-stream.)

I additionally included a couple of remarks of my own because of a telephone discussion with one of the analysts. Here, with no further dialog, are the remarks.


What ought to cutting edge creating resemble since we have 1,000s of stages of media, content-types, programs, channels, settings, and organizations? A troublesome and valiant inquiry to attempt to reply! Added a few musings to an ongoing article. A string for further remark.

Writing infrequently ever happened reliably in one GUI, notwithstanding for little organizations. In an endeavor, writing is the absolute most assorted condition inside substance lifecycle procedure and innovation. Substance can be obtained in many courses in a solitary division!

We ought to never expect a capacity to adjust huge populaces to a solitary GUI writing stage. What ordinarily occurs in such requirement situations: "tricking". No GUI, particularly one that needs to be so highlight rich, ever addresses everybody's issues.

So substance gets manufactured somewhere else and afterward PASTED into the GUI (regularly by another person), where gets additionally controlled. What's more, one expectations, advanced with metadata. Or on the other hand, distributing frameworks simply get worked around the GUI for different composing bunches that choose not to utilize it.

What's more, the good natured standard writing system falls into a clamorous wreckage of manual substance changes with no responsibility or detectability. Most ventures today live in some type of this wreckage.

Notwithstanding when some littler storehouses make some most steady soundness (for example #techcomm), none of the related substance sets are good. The appropriate response, [A] accepts, lies in adjusting basic and semantic standard examples crosswise over unique composing, the board, and distributing frameworks.

All that being stated, we do need to propel the territory of GUI creating. Sellers are chipping away at this in item guides. The greatest region important to me is basically the present endeavors at "What You See Is Semantically-Markup Up Content".

GUIs that *as the creator types* recommend semantic affiliations got from an authoritatively institutionalized scientific classification or cosmology supplier. This is easy and invisible...machine-incited, creator engaging.

A similar kind of in-setting altering, combined with machine knowledge, can likewise provoke extra explanation helpful for substance focusing on.

Another territory of intrigue are GUIs in which a "sidecar" toolbar controlled by man-made brainpower gives creators in-setting organized scraps for reuse and consideration, in light of the substance of the material being wrote.

Or then again, the sidecar proposes segments of content that may be reused by others. Furthermore, suppliers creators the capacity to apply metadata or talks to singular bits, or atoms, of substance. Obviously, these sidecar instruments can be made to perform MANY different capacities.

In my view, any merchant writing item, and any related interface, needs to grasp mapping application and versatility to issue long haul. Organizations frantically should most likely move content around. Yet, this is preposterous without composition arrangement crosswise over frameworks.

What's more, that is incomprehensible without creating interfaces that join an auxiliary outline. I'd like to see all the more cordial clear canvas interfaces ('Word-like') that fuse a capacity apply and oversee mapping driven formats, past simply institutionalizing styles.

We can see numerous endeavors at blueprint based GUI writing, particularly in the module advertise, where Word-to-DITA has been something sought after for certain years.

Perhaps the greatest zone of need, and most testing, is the advancement of graphical UIs that help different varieties of a similar substance inside a solitary creating process.

Personalization dependent on client type and state, and gadget or condition states, is something that many creating procedures need. Also, as we feed our client encounters with always logical information, writing for human or machine-ruminated variety winds up basic.

The uplifting news is this has likewise been sought after for certain years, and the heuristics have been investigated in numerous generation situations — for the most part in Customer Experience Management #cem stages.


Yet, there's a lot of space for advancement here, in light of the fact that "variety writing" interfaces have not yet been culminated or mass-embraced. It's as yet a blue sea space and sellers can separate themselves here.

There's a whole other world to state, and significantly more to examine, however the eventual fate of creating is a profound bunny opening. What's more, a commendable investigation. Investigate more thoughts from Neil Perlin (@NeilEric) in @ISTC_org Communicator or by means of the #info40 blog entry here:

James Mathewson @Mathewson_CS

The test is setting. Substance is just important to the extent that it is significant in setting. How would you assemble a composing framework that enables scholars to get a handle on advanced logical signs and compose important substance utilizing those signals? Secluded substance develops this issue exponentially.

Scott Abel @scottabel

Possibly our endeavors would be better spent getting corporate pioneers (those scared of being dislodged by troublesome trend-setters) to comprehend the need to progress toward becoming data empowered. Writing apparatuses are made (and refreshed) because of interest. The interest is basically not there — yet

Neil Perlin (in light of Scott Abel's point above)

A reasonable point. Be that as it may, in the beginning of assistance and the web, GUI device advancement went on - frequently in odd or even wrong headings - even as the innovation was spreading. Better IMO to move toward becoming data empowered AND make the apparatuses for doing as such simultaneously.

Cruce Saunders

The ocean change is coming. The two clients and sellers are driving the development. One hand washes the other. Praise the trailblazers, any place they sit.

Mike Atherton @MikeAtherton

+1 for setting and structure. Something similar to a headless CMS is a decent begin, but instead than a no frills experience, illustrative gadget and stage explicit templating to show creators how their work may show up.

What's more, more significantly, since we're moving from a concentrated distributing condition to conveyed 3pp (AMP, Instant Article, other API) at that point unequivocal help and direction ('plans' maybe) from stage proprietors.

Aaaand another psychological model. The print relationship will not pass on and doesn't help separate substance from introduction. A superior relationship may be radio waves.

Neil Perlin (because of Mike Atherton's past point)

I'll nibble. Why radio waves?

Mike Atherton (because of Neil Perlin's point above)

Since the data transmitted is immaterial, gadget skeptic and wherever on the double. Furthermore, on the grounds that a similar innovation can emanate frequencies intended for people and frequencies intended for machines. I didn't state it was flawless :)

Cruce Saunders (in light of Mike Atherton's point above)

Mike's 'radio waves' is like how I see content. Anything that can be accessible in various states, places, uses at one time is altogether different than substantial one-time distributed relics. It's 'data vitality'. ;) But it's increasingly sturdy even. Thus, we do require new casings.

Genuine gadget, type, client, setting skeptic logical review or recreation is a sacred goal. Indeed, even figure it ought to be source freethinker. I really accept there's a whole missing item class here. Rendering recreation and collab is something more than simply one more element.
