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.
Link text: "Read more..." http://www.xmediasolution.com/		500 507 514 521 528 ...
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.

Use background images sparingly and make sure they are simple, especially behind text.	Usability.gov 14:1
Background images can make it difficult for users to read foreground text. A single, large, complex background image (including a picture) can substantially slow page download rates.

Use headings in the appropriate HTML order (don't put H1 inside an H2, or H2 inside H3 etc.)	Usability.gov 9:7
Using the appropriate HTML heading order helps users get a sense of the hierarchy of information on the page. The appropriate use of H1-H3 heading tags also allows users of assistive technologies to understand the hierarchy of information.
