I also dislike "here" as a link; I try to use the actual topic.
e.g. Here is <a href=prl.gif>a picture of me</a>
NOT A picture of me is <a href=prl.gif>here</a>
Personally, I would remove the introductory "Here is" from the first
example, unless it's part of a sentence, but then I prefer things terse.
Since we're discussing style, how about these...
Where a doc refers to a subject (e.g. it's author) several times,
should there be links to the description of that subject on every
mention, or just the first, or the "defining use" or what? I went
through a phase of putting in a link to my description on every use of
"me" or "I". Now I just tend to initial a doc at the bottom and put the
link to ./prl.html in there.
As an institution, we have a logo, and a policy that all published docs
bear our logo. Is it reasonable to include this on all HTML docs
(possibly by hacking out HTTP server)? Similarly, is it a Good Thing to
hack our HTTP server to automatically "sign" all documents by looking
at the owner of the file, and appending a link to that user's
description, if there is one?
