From the website: “It’s me at The International Designs on E-Learning Conference a few weeks ago talking about how Penn State (more specifically e-Learning Institute) is using Drupal to power our course infrastructure. This is mostly high level but has a lot of screen shots, selling point type info, links, and a detailed walk through of two of our courses / some of our projects.”

From the website: “Search for goods and services on Writing, Is all Writing Creative, Writing Contest, Short Story and more.”

Although their limited “about” text doesn’t mention it, they also seem to have a helpful blog, at least in archive. I recently linked to one on dashes and hyphens.

The editors I work with care very, very much about dashes. Of course, I support that– what technology professional doesn’t love attention to detail? But to tell the truth, I’ve been faking it when that conversation comes up.

But no more! Click on the above link and the folks at Get It Write will clarify all. (And I should note that my first search choice, Wikipedia, was of little help on the issue of comparing these three thingys.)
