Basic Dos and Don'ts

Do:

  • Embed a link within your text.
  • Underline your links so it's clear to users that they are clickable 

Don't:

  • Copy/paste the URL as-is or use vague wording such as 'click here'. 
  • Make a link out of an entire sentence, or a whole paragraph, or any long block of text. It's usually incompatible with screen readers.
