Jeff Wong’s Summary

I am a "Technical/Production Editor" at Business Information Group. The position really involves two roles: editorial and semi-IT.

Editorially, I enter, update and proofread legislative documents, as well as post relevant news items for the website on a regular basis.

Technically, I maintain two databases and create monthly updates in Web and CD-ROM format.

I am also a blogger, which I find to be tremendously rewarding. I hope to blog more frequently one day.

Canadian law, proofreading, identifying relevant news items, MS Word, Epic Editor, XML, WordPress, Movable Type, HTML
