<h3>Skip navigation</h3>
<p>If your navigation contains many links and comes before the main content in the DOM, add a <code>Skip to main content</code> link immediately after your opening <code><body></code> tag. <ahref="http://a11yproject.com/posts/skip-nav-links/">(read why)</a></p>
{% highlight html %}
<body>
<ahref="#content"class="sr-only sr-only-focusable">Skip to main content</a>
<divclass="container"id="content">
The main page content.
</div>
</body>
{% endhighlight %}
<h3>Nested headings</h3>
<p>When nesting headings (<code><h1></code> - <code><h6></code>), your primary document header should be an <code><h1></code>. Subsequent headings should make logical use of <code><h2></code> - <code><h6></code> such that screen readers can construct a table of contents for your pages.</p>

### Skip navigation
If your navigation contains many links and comes before the main content in the DOM, add a `Skip to main content` link immediately after your opening `<body>` tag. [(read why)](http://a11yproject.com/posts/skip-nav-links/)
{% highlight html %}
<body>
<ahref="#content"class="sr-only sr-only-focusable">Skip to main content</a>
<divclass="container"id="content">
The main page content.
</div>
</body>
{% endhighlight %}
### Nested headings
When nesting headings (`<h1>` - `<h6>`), your primary document header should be an `<h1>`. Subsequent headings should make logical use of `<h2>` - `<h6>` such that screen readers can construct a table of contents for your pages.
