Priority 3 Issues (Level AAA)

ImportantAvoid specifying a new window as the target of a link with target="_blank".WCAG 2.0 AAA F22
Displaying new windows without warning can be very confusing to non-sighted and mobile users. Some screen readers and mobile devices give very little indication a new tab or window has opened. If you cannot avoid displaying a new window, insert a warning into the link text like the following: "opens in a new window".

ImportantDon't use generic text like "Click Here" or "Read More" in link text, because it says nothing about the link target when read out by a screen reader.WCAG 2.0 AAA F84
Screen readers often tab from one link to the next. Tabbing between links labelled "click here" sounds like "Click here, tab, click here, tab, click here". Change the link text to make sense when read without the surrounding text.
Link text: "Read more"
