To link, or not to link, that is the question.
Hyperlinks are one of the most important elements of a website. They help you move from page to page and from site to site.
Hardly a revelation – I know, however earlier this evening I was looking over a list of sites that had been nominated for an award. The list was not printed out, but was on a website (novel concept this internet thing), so I would have thought that providing links to the nominated sites would have been a natural part of it all.
Well, I was mistaken. In their wiseness the organisers (or their webmaster) neglected to provide a single hyperlink, so there is a “lovely” list of addresses:
www.somedomain.ie
instead of:
http://www.somedomain.ie
How much effort would it have taken to provide links that us mere mortals could click on??
Is it too much to ask?
Or maybe I’ve missed something blatantly obvious, so obvious that I must be staring it in the face…..
