Link Colour

[Newjabber]

Please confirm that it dosent matter if your links are black or blue!

I don't think color matters as long as the link looks like a link, ie; different color than regular text or underlined.

Aslong as it clearly looks like a link, i.e different then your background colour you should be alright.

Just don't try and disguise the link.

Old school webmasters will tell you that all your links should be blue and underlined, with visited links turning purple.

I think that in this day and age website visitors are pretty savvy and understand that hyperlinks just tend to be in a different (and consistent!) colour to the rest of the text, so I don't think that having all of your links in underlined blue text is mandatory anymore.

However, I'd say that it's a good idea to have your hyperlinks underlined (with whatever colour you like), as this makes it very much obvious that the text is a link. Just make sure that you avoid using underlined text elsewhere on your site as it will make things a little more confusing. You don't really need to underline text nowadays anyway, that's what <strong> and <em> are for.

Thx all

I personally don't like links that are the same color as the text on the site, since it usually makes it harder (for humans) to locate the links on the page.
