Users should be able to quickly look at each link and tell where it goes.	Usability.gov 10:1
Don't use generic link labels like "click here" or "read more" because they're hard to tell apart when users scan a page.

Omitting IMG WIDTH or HEIGHT attributes means page text jumps about as images load.	Usability.gov 14:3
This makes the page very hard to read while it's loading, and the user may click on the wrong link if it moves as it's being clicked. Add width and height attributes to the img tag matching the image dimensions. Authoring tools like Dreamweaver can automate this process.

On long pages, provide a list of contents with links that take users to the corresponding content farther down the page.	Usability.gov 7:3

Radio buttons are easier to use than drop-downs when there are 6 choices or less.	Usability.gov 13:9
One usability study showed radio buttons give reliably better performance than drop-down lists for mutually exclusive selections. If screen space allows use radio buttons instead of lists/dropdowns with fewer than 7 items.
