Reflection
I used a combination of Redish's suggestions and information from my Eng 575 class to create this style guide. I also decided to include in my style guide formatting that I wanted to keep consistent on my site. Redish mentions using a style guide to keep the site consistent (345) She was referring to grammar, spelling and usage (346). I followed some of Redish tips: (348)
 * I put my style guide online in an easily accessible place
 * I started small
 * I made it easy to find topics - both by searching and browsing

I followed Redish's advice and only used two heading levels. I use Headings 2 and 3 provided by my wiki. Heading 1 was too large for my purpose. I decided to alphabetize this list to make items easier to find.
