RE: SIGIA-L: navigation issue
From: Arko, Phil (parko_at_proxicom.com)

"<- Back" or "Previous Page" seems to work
And I would suggest:
instead of "click here to view an article about this children's product"
... consider a simple link labeled "Article" or "Case Study" or
something a bit more meaningful within the context of the specific
children's product page.
