a. The 'somewhere' in the href is not a valid location
b. IMO the anchor text and the file name should be relevant and related for
SEO-purposes
(Like your <a href="ie-image-border-styles-on-hover.php">How to get borders
on images to change colour on hover in IE</a>)
Thus, a sentence with an example could be "Use normal links like <a
href="blah.html">blah</a>".
