helping with documentation + website

I am not a programmer. I do copywriting for pay and I have run a bunch of different personal websites over the years (15+ years, I think). I know a little HTML and CSS.

I am interested in getting involved in open source via first working on copywriting and website stuff, since that is what I already have a background in. I am finding it extremely opaque to figure out how on earth to do that.

I left a couple of related comments on HN recently:

I do have a github account and I recently went through the Hello World on how to do pull requests.

Any tips on how to begin interacting with open source projects on the copywriting and website development piece of things?

Thanks.
