DISCUSSION NOTES FOR WDN

We should collect screenshots of Youtube autocaptions that are way off
JAWS 125-character limit (alt tags) is not well-known;  we should talk about this with the WDN
Site title - how should subsites appear here (or elsewhere)? H3 underneath? ...is the site title 'furniture' that visitors often overlook?
How do we indicate whether a link will take you to a subsite? Offsite?

• Template needs indicators for links "going to subsite" or "going to external website"?
• Interstitial page built-in to the CMS "You are leaving unl.edu, do you want to do this?"
• For external page: boxed arrow pointing up and out
• For subsite (new navigation): boxed arrow pointing down and out

Image compression

• Cover benefits of compression & common tools at next WDN meeting (Ryan will do this)
• There are problems with Drupal's compression tool, which sometimes increases file sizes instead of decreasing them
• We have to weigh the importance of images in our designs. The website is mobile-first, so should images that are 5000px wide (for example) even be allowed?
• Do we have standards for image widths (in pixels)? 1600px is common, but is that what we want to go with?
• Pass standards down to web administrators, so that they can limit the max size on specific image fields and help their contributors conform to the standards
