			* If you have a headline that breaks into two lines, see if you can make it be just one line by slightly shrinking the text.
			* Be sure that every image is referenced with its source---for example, by having the URL where you found it clearly indicated in small type.
			* Only use images that you are legally allowed to use. Typically this is imagery that is distributed under an appropriate Creative Commons license or that are distributed for publicity purposes.
