| Apr 4, 2017 at 21:23 | comment | added | wchargin | In case the link will be public—say, on a website like this one, as opposed to in an email—please refrain from using "This link" or "Click here" or "Link" as the link text. It makes it more difficult for people who use screen readers to identify the target. For instance, instead of "This link shows an example of the McGurk effect," prefer "Here is an example of the McGurk effect." When the screenreader reads the former, there will be no context, but the latter provides all the context that is required to understand the link. | |
