More on this story... (Was: HTML heading styles)
On 10/19/04 3:05 PM, "mmoore" simply typed the following:
We can do the same with a link to the remainder of the article on a web site "More on Accessibility" instead of "More on this story"  This approach has two advantages to someone using a link list for navigation.  First it tells them what to expect when they activate the link, second it tells them that there is something important prior to this link that they may want to read first.  
I like your idea for a static site... But for a dynamic one, this is not always possible. And I agree that it’s problematic and shouldn’t be done. I’ve dealt with this on a couple sites I subbed for and did the HTML/CSS coding only. I didn’t have enough control over the final product to affect the outcome (and thus, all the links say “Read more....”), however, I’m not really sure what could have been done differently either.
The “Read more...” portion received its link (a href) dynamically and each is a news story.
I have a static site under my control presently where I’m able to change all the “Click here” notes the copywriter made into more descriptive links. I’ve even been able to educate her on why “Click here” isn’t a good idea. LOL
