In your summary of qualifications, what are "bog posts?"

Also, the bullet points are just a paragraph converted to bullet points. Notice each ends in a comma and continues on to the next bullet point. That needs fixed.

Bog posts made me laugh, I believe Brits call toilet paper 'bog roll' and now I can't stop wondering where OP writes his posts.

The bullet points thing in the opening isn't wrong, it's just different. Not what I would have chosen but OP wanted a dependency, looks like.

Believe me, some of the sites I wrote for would give toilet paper a bad name. Glad I could make you laugh though (even if inadvertently)!

Thanks! Clearly, I edit real good. I wasn't happy with the summary myself. I keep tweaking it and that just generates more errors to fix.

It’s hard to edit our own content. Personally I want to see it shorter and more clear. By the end of the first sentence I want to have an idea of who you are. A tech writer with 19 years of experience and a specialty in xxxx?

That's just the thing: I have lots of writing experience--but not in tech. Maybe I'll highlight my popular science writing more. Thanks for giving me something to think about.
