Hi Ineke, Actually, James' recommendation does conform to the W3C tip if I read it correctly. At level 3 he says recommend full text (no verb phrase) AT level 1 he says 'must at least have more than verb phrase available programmatically' Gregg -- ------------------------------ Gregg C Vanderheiden Ph.D. Professor - Ind.

When a screenreader can spring von link to link and in every link is written "read more", so what do you understand/remember after hearing this 4 times? You know exactly what the links are about si you can make a clear choice? I would urge to write clear linktext as adviced in above url as level 1, also because this is showed as tip of the day when a page validates in the w3c-validator. Greetings Ineke van der Maat
