Updated sites
My technical communication web site has been updated and has it’s own URL, www.lukondor.com. I now also have a separate creative writing site at www.lakondor.com. Both sights are similar yet different in content. I’ll be adding more content in the future to my creative writing site. To this site, I’ve added new pages including statement on the importance of technical communication.
I’ve also added a tab at the top for Academics & Learning (contains links to the CSUDH certificate program) which has a FAQ page to the top questions I’m asked by students on technical writing and the program at CSUDH.
