View Pages  Very ImportantAvoid underlined text - people will click on it and think it's a broken link.Usability.gov 10:4
Use something other than underlining for highlighting text, because it looks like a link, and users become frustrated when the "link" does not work.

View Pages  Very ImportantOmitting 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.

View Pages  ImportantUse link text between 3 and 80 characters so it's long enough to be understood, but avoids line wrapping.Usability.gov 10:11
A single word text link may not give enough information about the link's destination. A link that is a full sentence is difficult to read quickly, particularly if it wraps to another line.

View Pages  Least ImportantCapitalize the first letter of the first word in lists.Usability.gov 12:9
Only the first letter of the first word should be capitalized unless the item contains another word that would normally be capitalized.
