One of the problems is you set the link color in a template, and <i>everything</i> on the blog that's a link, including the post headings and everything down both side columns, becomes that color as well. If it has enough contrast to show up in the text, it tends to look atrocious on everything else. I think for a while I was using some kind of light gray. I might try that again. I did go and lighten the green that was there. Are you still not seeing it?<br /><br />I really appreciate the help with this!

It's hard to find something that looks good all around the site, but that shows up ok as a link in lines of text. Personally, I sometimes wish we had the option to add underlines like in the old days. It's less elegant, but I have colorblind friends and suspect they have an even harder time with it.

Now, when I run the mouse over that, it changes color to torquoise and is easily seen, but not until the cursor actually highlights it to change the color.<br /><br />d.guffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5562870398071023329.post-55374424695365958672010-07-23T14:56:13.809-07:002010-07-23T14:56:13.809-07:00Hi Dguff,

The link works on my end. Did you click on "the importance of typefaces"? If that still doesn't work, the URL is: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-10689931<br /><br />That was a quote from the article, which I don't think actually spells it out. They just noted that graphic designers were horrified by the font used in the movie. But it was the choice of Papyrus. I seem to remember reading somewhere else that it was a slightly modified Papyrus, but it's still basically Papyrus.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment.Paper Chipmunk (aka Ellen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15014954266777016841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5562870398071023329.post-40064125805973056372010-07-23T10:10:11.806-07:002010-07-23T10:10:11.806-07:00In the last line of your post you wrote "the ...In the last line of your post you wrote "the audience was immediately outraged..."<br /><br />why were they outraged?
