Hot-damn Shelly DaviesShelly Davies, managing director of Hamilton-based Shelly Davies Writing & Training, has recently bounced unconventionally and entertainingly into the communications landscape. Her brand is unapologetically different and her services highly sought-after. She’s one of the presenters at Collaborate2017 where her topic is: Just look at our hot-damn selves. She caught up with Jim Costello this week to discuss her views. |

Jaco, King of MetadataJaco Swart's career includes stints in electronic design, user experience design, and digital marketing. He likes to mine for data, concoct impromptu diagrams, and advocate for useful content. He is one of the presenters at Collaborate2017 where his topic is – Web metadata for technical communicators. He caught up with Jim Costello to discuss what this means and why we should care. |

In this month's column, we welcome tools for working with outdated browsers and for checking web layouts on different devices.
