-
Added each element listed as per required by the assignment. Note: W3 validator
found errors in eight lines of the added code. Because these elements were beyond my understanding
, I decided to inquire about the matter later.
-
Removed redundant link from level 1 header, the title text located at the top of the page. A link
returning to the home page was present in both the title header and in the nav bar. I decided to
remove the link from the title header in order to centralize navigation.
-
Changed the alt text and title of each image link in the three columns. WAVE found the text redundant, so
I attempted to make the alt text and title more descriptive in order to better accessibility.
-
Darkened color of navbar links. WAVE reported the there was not enough contrast between the background color and
the color of the text. Considering that the navigation is integral to user experience, I decided to increase the
contrast. The change also helped me think about how I might expand my site's color palette.

-
Changed the text of each link in order to indicate the destination of the link. Previously, I had used "here"
in order to direct users to sites containing information I felt pertinent to my content. WAVE declared these
links suspicious, as "here" provides no description of what sites the link will lead, so I changed each instance
of here to to the destination website's title.
