Breaking up large documents for the web

A great article taken from the best book on writing for the web, by Ginny Redish.

Most people come to the web for information, not for a complete document. They don’t want the user manual; they want instructions for the task they are doing. They don’t want the handbook; they want the answer to specific questions. They want usable, manageable pieces.
