When linking to any page make sure the link title is as descriptive as possible. This helps the end user scan through the links on the page to identify the one they need faster. In addition, screen readers and search engines read these title tags as their insight into the page content. Without a unique descriptive title they might get confused quickly.

Nick, thanks much for the great evaluation! We’re pleased to see our work so favorably reviewed, and we’re glad to see that many of the intentional design decisions we made in this recent process are being viewed positively. It’s always nice to hear the impressions of users and other higher ed professionals think about our work. Thanks again, and keep up the great work!

Andy,
I’m glad you liked the review. Right off the bat I could tell you take care in the decisions that make for the site. It’s the small simple things that make the biggest difference in sites usage. Keep focusing on your users are your site will continue to rock.

K Style liked when you coughed in this edu checkup. P Style liked when you were wearing a big wrist band (false).

P Style, the wrist band made the episode. K Dawg, I always make light of my coughs or when I fumble things behind camera.
