Writing Is as Writing Does?
First, I'm very happy to see this long overdue topic on Sitepoint. All due respects to the *Tubes in cyberspace, writing is a huge part of the web.
At ther risk of sounding pushy, I'm suggesting a 'name' change for the topic. Copywriting is a very specific subtopic of writing for the web. Articles, how-to's, technical content are all "writing".
I have seen lots of 'discussions' go off track over "copywriting" vs. "web content" being used interchangeably.

Good point. It could be cleared up with a sticky post, communicating the intent for the forum.

Good point, Expat. However, I think there's some virtue to keeping the word "copywriting" in whatever the new title is, simply because many people still don't know what copywriting is...
