Business development

Visual branding helps business promotion, so we added a favicon (an image that appears in the browser address bar) to the TechScribe website. Chami shows you how to do it, and provides an online tool for creating favicons (www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/).
Industry profile
TechScribe has launched a project to improve the rankings of the UK technical communications profession as a whole in search engine results. The project uses website addresses that are related to the products and services that technical communicators sell.

A PDF file often contains hyperlinks so that people can easily navigate to different places in the file. Unfortunately, if a PDF file contains an index, the index rarely has hyperlinks, because until now there has been no easy way of creating them. This technical article shows you a new straightforward method of creating coloured hyperlinks in an index in a PDF file.
