WL: OK here's 32 words - if you drop the "and" from 3.2 and 3.6 you've got
the requested 30.
3.1 Use consistent presentation.
3.2 Emphasize structure through presentation, positioning, and labels.
3.3 Write clearly and simply.
3.5 Summarize complex information.
3.6 Define key terms, abbreviations, acronyms, and specialized language.
3.7 Divide information into smaller, more manageable units.
If you meant "plain text" rather than the checkpoints themselves try:
"Sounds/graphics/videos/animations can help make concepts presented in a
Web site easier to understand, especially for people with cognitive
disabilities or those who are unfamiliar with the language" [which 30 could
become 28 if "in a Web site" were changed to "in Websites" - although
"Websites" is not recognized as a "word" by my spell checker!]
which is a near-perfect candidate for self-reflexive illustration: show 'em
what you're tellin' 'em!
Kynn might help you with techniques proven in the field of comix?
I think this is quite a challenge and I prithee luck (which is appropriate
enough for Easter Week?).
