This one was a little "vague"...

<Remember Line Length - Don't make it too long or too short.>

It sounds like an old joke. What exactly is "line length?" And what is too
long and too short?


And this one caught my attention as new and one I've never heard before (it
is not in any standards I am aware of)

<Design Link Focus Indicators - Ensure keyboard users can visually identify
a focused link. Use the standard dotted line or other non-color
designators.>

I checked all of my sites and all of them are fine except the ones built in
Joomla and one built in WordPress. I expect the template maker turned it off
in the CSS somewhere - those rascals - why would you do that? Now the
challenge will be to find it and fix it. Ugh.


Wondering if your designer could create a version that would print nicely on
8.5 x 11 paper or other standard paper size. Resizing the PNG is not very
sharp. Maybe it works at poster sizes, but would need a larger file.
