Yes Neerav - that's what I meant. Whatever solution the list recommends will need to be hacked into the CMS/blog code or submitted as a feature request.

What Cameron means is that most CMS's & Blogs automate "more" and "read more" style links

the only way i know of to add some useful info to the link would be to hack the code which outputs the title attribute to be something like this

<a href="/blog-post-view.php?id=196678#postcomment" title="Post a comment about <? write article title here using php or other scripting language ?>">(reply...)</a>

Subject: [WSG] accessibility question: same link phrase more than once


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:

Do not use the same link phrase more than once when the links point to different URLs. <http://bobby.watchfire.com/bobby/html/en/gls/g265.html>/ (7 instances) /

Nearly all CMSs and blogs do the same.

Has anyone come up with any solutions for this?

cameron.
