Charging for web content

It's really difficult to say, Chuck. Is she a friend? If so, give her the lowball friend rate. If she's a professional acquaintance or something, take the figure you think is appropriate, and add 50% to it; just based on what you're saying I bet you're lowballing yourself hardcore.

I can't help you with how much you should charge by (time spent versus content volume). Since it's the web, the amount of space needed to be filled isn't as rigorous, so I doubt bulk is as important here as it would be in print. Also (as you've read, no doubt) web content tends to require conciseness and brevity over length, as people always skim for the information important to them. I would charge by the hour unless all of my peers in writing think that's a terrible idea.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
