I find the reading a bit dry and less interesting,but helpful.
Chapter 7 is all about the importance of linking, and how to do so correctly.
Users tend to think links lead you to other pages,that is not true in the case of FAQ'S, where it stays on the same page but in a different section.
Chapter 8 was all about paragraphing.
Web writers have to gut down on the least important writing and focus on key points.
It is all about writing for a particular audience, if the designer does not put the main idea first or second in a paragraph then the reader will become less interested.
