Tools - Guidelines and standards manuals The word 'Guidelines' is in fashion, but implies flexibility. I prefer 'Standards.' The appearance and exposure of the corporate brand must be constant. In even the most entrepreneurial corporate culture where "all permissions are granted unless expressly denied," identity must be the great exception, in which all permissions are denied unless expressly granted. Otherwise, chaos will rule. Edward Tufte says this well: "If there is a well thought-out design standard, it should be followed. Until 2000 or so, the best manuals were beautifully designed books, expensively produced to support their quality message and policy importance. Some manuals are at least partly 'open' on the Web, and I will add well-designed examples below as I (or you) find them.

Blog managers XYZ will be responsible for overall blog administration [tag, you’re it!]. Hosting Blogs are hosted at [blogs.library.MPOW.edu?] Blog Assignments For 2007, to conserve bandwidth and ensure a smooth migration to this new service, one blog will be assigned on request to each department at MPOW Libraries. Acceptable Use MPOW Libraries reserve the right not to post any blog post, or to later remove it. Pages
