Tip of the day from Journalism.co.uk – making links more accessible
July 14th, 2008Posted by John Thompson in Online Journalism, Top tips for journalists
Online journalism: When adding links to your article, ensure the link text makes sense out of context (ie don’t just put ‘click here’). This will make your content more immediately accessible, particularly for those using technological aids, like screen readers, to read the site. Tipster: Laura Oliver

Yeah, use good stand-alone link text, like, er, “Submit it here” and “Full story…”.

Andy, you are quite right. I will look into changing ‘Submit it here’, but the ‘Full story’ link might be part of a WordPress format.
