Welcome to editors.co.uk.
This site has been built, with a website content management system called Textpattern, as part of an evaluation of maybe a dozen such systems. (If this stuff interests you, take a look at CMS & frameworks evaluated – and leave a comment or two there if you have the time.)

The editors.co.uk site was originally conceived, over a decade ago, to promote the services of Business Editors, a small consultancy devoted to business communications. That strand of work is now more or less dormant, but there are remnants of the original site here – notably an essay on the use of Initial Capitals, and a page about useful guides to style, supported by the links on the right.

The main man behind all this, Chris Gill, is heavily committed to other projects, notably Britain’s leading ski resort guide (Where to Ski and Snowboard) and Britain’s leading operator of corporate yachting events (Yacht Ventures). Links will be provided in due course …
