You would think that adding links to a site would be an easy thing to understand. But based on sites that I am sure we have all experienced, this just isn’t the case. Somewhere along the way back from the birth of the web, a lot of folks have either forgotten or never learned how to add intelligent and relevant links both within their own pages and beyond their site. WebReview has just posted For the Love of Links: Tangential Site Design which I guess could be considered a HyperText 101 course. Not the coding aspects of setting up links, but the reason you need to create links in the first place.

“It becomes imperative that the individual designing Web pages understand how this environment offers organizational structures that are both like and unlike those with which we are most familiar.”

It’s just too bad that we need to remind the people responsible for developing sites of this sort of thing. It’s the basis of the web itself.
