Creating screen-reader friendly read more links
Over the course of my career I have worked on more than a fair share of higher-eduation sites. When dealing with a universities website there are many challenges. One of the biggest challenges is in dealing with the accessibility standards. I am writing about [WCAG] (http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/). The WebCAG, or Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, is a detailed list for how accessibility should be done on the web.
I might write about the problems with WebCAG at some point, but this article is about strictly an incompatability between what the designer/UX people want and what the WebCAG says about “READ MORE” links. Specifically WCAG 2.0 SC 2.4.4. this states that any link needs to have context.
