  15. CMC Recruiter.aspx and CMC Student.aspx have the same/similar tag structures; greater re-use could be gained here by using sub-layouts or renderings <sc:XslFile ID="Header" Path="/xsl/CMC/CMCRecruiterHeader.xslt" runat="server" /> CMCBeadcrumb.ascx.cs; using template name; could also use guid ArrayList instead of a generic Page.Request Sitecore.Web.WebUtil

  16. Inline Styles Negative impact SEO and cross browser support <h4><a href="http://insight.kellogg.northwestern.edu/" style="color: #401c6d">Kellogg INSIGHT</a></h4>
