INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To be an online proofreader, or any proofreader, requires a love of reading. You should enjoy reading several forms of writing and become familiar with a number of writing styles, as well as acquire knowledge in a broad range of subjects. Proofing online text successfully requires a knowledge of correct word usage and punctuation, spelling words correctly and recognizing common word confusions ("then" for "than," etc.), and understanding what the writer intended to say through careful re-reading of the text. Website text you'll proofread will either be sent to you by email, or you'll be given access to a site where the draft text can be downloaded from or edited directly. If you download the text to your computer, you'll need to be familiar with the proofreading and editing tools in your word processing program, such as Microsoft Word's "Track Changes" and "Insert Comments" features. If you proofread the text directly, you'll need to learn whatever online proofing tool you'll be asked to use. Some clients may instead prefer you to print out the text, proofread it manually, then fax it back. In those cases, you'll need to know how to use a printer and fax, as well as the symbols used in proofreading and copyediting by hand. At a minimum, high school courses in English, journalism, and literature will give you a foundation in the language and proofreading skills you'll need to have. You can supplement this knowledge with courses at a college or university, a community college, or online, as well as with online tutorials. Online classes are available from such organizations as eLearners, Universalclass.com, and Mediabistro.com. While classes can give you a foundation in English, the organizations you'll be working with often adopt an established style guide or create their own in-house guide. At a minimum, you should become familiar with the AP Style Guide, used by most newspapers and online news organizations and many websites, and the Yahoo Style Guide, used by many other organizations with a Web presence. Other stylebooks to consider include the Chicago Manual of Style, the New York Times Manual of Style, and the AMA Manual of Style. For an overall refresher on usage, read "The Elements of Style" by William Strunk and E.B. White. In addition to the style manuals listed above, you should have a dictionary and thesaurus and, depending on the clients you plan to work for, specialized dictionaries of medical, scientific, legal, or financial terminology. You should also become familiar with and bookmark reference websites such as Dictionary.com; however, it can sometimes be faster or more effective to look something up in a book than online. Look at books, newspapers, websites, and even the text displayed on TV news programs and commercials with a critical eye. This will teach you to spot errors in spelling, punctuation, and usage of words.

SUMMARY: Be well-read. Understand the specific skills required of an online proofreader. Develop your computer skills. Consider formal training as a proofreader. Familiarize yourself with several stylebooks. Build a reference library. Practice your proofreading skills on what you read.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Studies have named the sun as the No. 1 cause of wrinkles. Wear a broad-spectrum (UVA and UVB) sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. There is no need to go above SPF 50. You need to wear sunscreen even when it's not sunny. If you're tanned, this doesn't mean that you're protected from the sun. Wear sunscreen no matter what! Wearing sunscreen will not only prevent wrinkles; it will also reduce your risk of getting skin cancer. Reapply your sunscreen often at least every 2 hours. every day. Doctors recommend washing your face twice a day no more than that. Over-washing your face can strip your skin of its natural oils and moisture so that wrinkles appear deeper; it may even cause new wrinkles to form. Even if your skin is oily, don't wash your face more than twice a day, as it can irritate your skin and, if you have acne, it can cause further breakouts. People with mature skin (ages 40 and up) can likely get away with washing their faces with a cleanser each night, and only rinsing with cool water in the morning. Applying a toner to your skin after you've washed your face can help balance your skin's pH and keep it looking healthier. Just be sure to avoid toners containing alcohol, as this can dry out your skin. Many moisturizers contain ingredients aimed at fighting and preventing wrinkles. Apply a moisturizer to your face twice a day: once after your morning face-wash and once after your evening face-wash. There is little evidence to suggest that day and night creams are particularly different; however, some ingredients in moisturizers are made ineffective by the sun. For example, retinol, a highly effective wrinkle-fighter, is rendered inactive by sunlight, as are most prescription medications. The skin around your eyes is different from the rest of your facial skin: it is thinner and more delicate, quicker to wrinkle and droop. For this reason, it's worthwhile to use an eye cream in addition to your facial moisturizer. Look for an eye cream that contains collagen, vitamin C, peptides, and/or retinol.

SUMMARY: Wear sunscreen. Wash your face Use a toner after you wash your face. Use a good-quality moisturizer that targets wrinkles. Use a good eye cream.
