A little research of my own

I have decided that I want to learn Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for webpages this summer. Tonight I began reading my book, which I checked out of the library - a much cheaper route. I came across an interesting article that I thought was interesting that might be good information for any web page creators out there.

Don't use CLICK HERE for your links, here is an entire article about Why "Click Here" is Bad Linking Practice it also includes other link "etiquette."

There are several other articles that are of great interest to read that are linked to that main article. Most of the points made, I admit, I'm guilty of, but having read his reasoning- mainly accessibility issues, I stand corrected and will forever let my links be blue and underlined.

Other Worthwhile articles:
Links Want to Be Links
Accessible Design for Users With Disabilities

Nielsen Norman Group Report-
Beyond ALT Text:Making the Web Easy to Use for Users With Disabilities

**Notice I'm trying to practice good linking etiquette in this blog!**
