That is just one of those WCAG rules that turns people off about WCAG rules. I just alter the title attribute's text to specify what post it's linking to. I believe that's what the rule should be. Part of the reason it exists to to stop people from telling you to click [a]here[/a]... The "click here" thing is just bad practice though :-P

I was just wondering the list's opinion about blogs and CMSs that at the end of each new item, have a link that says 'read more' or 'read comments' or just 'more' .
Sitepoint, for example, uses the same link phrase more than once when pointing to different URLS:

Nearly all CMSs and blogs do the same.
Has anyone come up with any solutions for this?
