I just wanted to post a quick note about my next, and first, article series that I am working on.

I am working on a 3 part series about using skip links for your site. In this 3 part series, I will look at defining what skip links (or jump links) are and how they work, the debate over using them, and finally how to implement them in your site to improve accessibility and usability.

As a site owner with several sites, one of the most annoying things that I have encountered is trying to use a contact form on a site that allows for a lot of spam to get through.
