13/ make sure your webpage doesn't depend on Javascript just to display an article and its title, like 99% of news websites and blogs today...

14/ avoid sticky headers,like this page has, that take 1/8 of the screen real estate on a laptop and even worse on mobile.

15/ A reader should be able to increase/decrease the size of the text without destroying your layout.

16/ Stick to simple "websafe" fonts for the body of your articles. Some fancy fonts that look good on your MAC look really bad on Windows.

17/ the most horrible thing designers do: light text on white background. Please stop. Just because it looks good on your calibrated $2000 screen doesn't mean it will on a $250 laptop with limited contrast settings.
