Priority 1 Issues
	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" https://brookbend.com/		32
Priority 2 Issues
	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.

Priority 3 Issues
	Radio buttons are easier to use than drop-downs when there are 6 choices or fewer.	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.

	Use bold text sparingly - for one or two words or a short phrase.	Usability.gov 11:5
	Keep runs of bold text to less than 70 characters.

	Use 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.
