We can drive millions of users to our websites, but it doesn't matter if our websites are not easy to navigate and use. @Robin - While the hot pink links on Matt's site are very *contrasty* (I love that word), I do think the bold style of the blue font with the dark background is confusing. Are those links? I'm not sure until I hover over them. I understand that Matt is going pink for October, though, so that's cool with me. Very cool, actually. We need more men like him in the cause. :) @Dmitry - Totally agreed, although I'm not sure it's good to have the link color be the exact color as the body text - especially for users who are not web savvy. <hr> As a side note, the reason I think underlines are so important is that sometimes we use different colors for bold, headings, or other emphasis. If we don't use underlines, it's *essential* that we do not use different color font for any other reason unless it's *obviously* main or sub navigation. Thanks so much for your comments everyone.

The great thing about underlines is that you don't need any drastic color differentiation as you've mentioned, they're very easy to spot and everyone know what they do. Hi Shelby,

While he doesn't underline links, in much the same way, Matto does make links very obvious by contrast. Posts are white text on gray background, while links are <strong>hot pink</strong>—with visited links being a not-as-vibrant pink. Easy to see, easy to use, and it is very clear and user friendly (<a href="http://xhipi.com/2008/09/making-coffee-more-efficient/" rel="nofollow">sample post here</a>. I find it interesting that, for some reason, this has become a theme for me today. Still worthwhile to come back and review the basics. For as much time as I spend on the web, it still pains me to have to mouse over text before I can figure out where the embedded links are. And I'm glad I wasn't just imagining that your links used to be darker green. Viva la difference!

I agree with you that if you're not going to underline, there has to be some sort of contrast to set them apart, even if it seems obvious to *us* that the user should know its a link.
