IMPROVING YOUR WEBLOG
Use Mark’s tips and these


Day 14: Adding titles to links. What with weblogs being all about links, you would think more people would know about the <CODE>title attribute, but I rarely see it. For those who don’t know, all links can have a title, specified by the <CODE>title attribute of the <CODE><A>tag. This is in addition to whatever link text you specify. The title of a link generally shows up as a tooltip in visual browsers, but it can be presented in non-visual browsers as well. Not all links should have titles. If the link text is the name of an article, don’t add a title; the link text itself is descriptive enough. But if you read the link text by itself, out of context, and can’t figure out what it points to, add a title. [dive into mark]
