Published Articles 

I have published hundreds of articles on computers, software, Windows and the Internet. I can write features, tutorials, reviews, case studies or news articles; depending on your needs.

I enjoy researching new subjects and interviewing subject matter experts, and I am skilled in conducting research over the Internet. If you need help with articles, please contact me. 

If you are an editor and want to see a writing sample of an article in the table below that does not include an online link, you can request a hard copy or an Acrobat version by email at ronsmiller@ronsmiller.com

Publishing Highlights:

2006 & 2007 Apex Award for Publication Excellence

I am pleased to announce that I  am a recipient of a 2006 & 2007 Apex

Award for Publication Excellence for my June, 2005 EContent Magazine article, Journalism Returns to its Grass(roots) and my January 2006 article Web Content Takes the Access Ramp


EContent Contributing Editor


I was named a contributing editor at EContent Magazine in April, 2004. I have contributed regularly to the magazine since June, 2002 covering various content issues such as content management, blogs, digital rights management, search technologies, instant messaging, XML and Web services to name but a few. My name began appearing in the magazine's mast head in May, 2004. Note that EContent articles are no longer available online for free viewing.

Business Week Small Biz Random Access Columnist
I write a column each issue with 3-4 blurbs describing hardware, software, gadgets or services that are of interest to small business owners.

eWeek Regular Contributor
In 2005, I began contributing regular case studies to eWeek Magazine. This involves interviewing a customer and an integrator and writing an in-depth story on the case.

Internetnews.com Daily News Coverage
I covered daily news for Internetnews.com from January to June, 2004. I was given an assignment and in 2-4 hours, I needed to understand the story, track sources and write a 500-700 word article. During this period, I wrote more than 30 articles and contributed research to several others.

Network World Home Base Columnist
I was the Home Base columnist for Network World from October, 2003-April 2004. I wrote a column every two weeks describing how technology helped a SOHO/Small Business owner (less than 10 people). Each column ran 400-600 words and included an interview with a small business owner.
