The "Click HERE" syndrome: Avoid the use of "Click Here", "Select", or any derivative phrases. Using "Click" assumes the user is browsing with a mouse pointing device. This assumption does not take into account the numerous other types of pointing devices on the market today, as well as text-only browsers which cannot "Click". Embedding the link in meaningful text or using bulleted listing techniques can eliminate the need to use the phrase.
Page Rendering: Different clients use different spacing and fonts. You should be careful to use the structuring elements such as headers and lists in the way in which they were intended. If you don't like the rendering on your particular client, don't try to fix it by using inappropriate elements, or trying for example to force extra spacing with empty elements. This may well end up being interpreted differently by other clients and looking very strange. By conforming to the HTML Standards, this type of problem can be avoided.
Testing: Test your pages with several browsers - including (at least) one text only, e.g. Lynx. A useful technique is to edit your HTML through a browser, such as lynx. This gives you instant feedback about the appearance of your document on that browser.
