Keep all links up to date and working all the time. Broken links make sites non-crediable and add unnecessary weight to the text.  All links should have a purpose, and the site linked to should also follow the other rules of good online writing. [[Navigation and Usability|Navigating]] to a new page should not distract the reader or cause confusion.

== Fonts and Graphics ==
Variations in font, size, and color can break up text just as much as headlines and subheads.  All the fonts and colors should blend well together and should be consistent through out the writing. Do not use to many colors and make sure the colors you choose go with the theme of the writing.
The same applies with images, make sure the images are of a similar quality and size. Make sure all of them are applicable to the writing and only add visual interest, not distract from the writing.
