<FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>I have a client that insists on "click here" in almost
every link because as she puts it "you don't know how many people out there
just don't realize something is a link unless it says so". At least she is
open to more than click here being in the link as in "click here for more
information on xyz".

copywriter made into more descriptive links. I&amp;#8217;ve even been able to educate
her on why &amp;#8220;Click here&amp;#8221; isn&amp;#8217;t a good idea.
