Tips & Warnings

Choose link colors that will show up well against your background color or image if you have one. Avoid yellow, light blue or light gray colors, as they are difficult to read and the text will not show up on browsers that default to a white background. If you use a dark or brightly colored background, be sure to use a contrasting color for your links.
Some browsers will ignore any options you set and will default to their own settings.
