It’s considered common practice now that hyperlinks on websites should be underlined.
Well, not all links need to be underlined, just the ones that are amongst paragraph text, as they need to stand out for a user to find them. I found a problem exactly like this while reading this article from Gawker. My brother said “click that link” while pointing at some paragraph text. And I’m thinking, all the text is the same color, and there are no underlines, “where’s the damn link?”
The links and paragraph text weren’t actually the same color, just quite similar, so it’s hard to see the link unless you’re reading the whole article.
I would also assume now that because of the search engine giants users have associated this bright blue with hyperlinks as well.

A little while ago now I discovered a neat little site: DearIE6, and I used it to say goodbye to Internet Explorer.
Very cool idea. And to be quite honest, I don’t use IE. My friend that does my coding work checks on occasion (I hope) if the code works in IE, so that’s good enough for me 
Glad that most of the visitors to my sites are sensible enough to use a better alternative <3

Published by Eli on Feb 19th, 2009. Filed under Ramblings.Ohhh how this hurts! It should just say “Sorry, but you cannot view this because you’re from a country outside of the real world.”
This will always happen when you (outside of the US) try to view a video on Hulu, so just search YouTube for an alternative video.
I keep getting the urge to publish something up here, but I keep getting turned off. I feel the need to redesign my Blog, something much more minimal and more focused on the content. Something like Gridalicious (sort of).
Anyway, I’ll leave you with a video:
So for that next two years I’m going to be working on Cert IV, Diploma and Advanced Diploma in Multimedia at TAFE SA. I’m more likely to be updating my Twitter a lot more than my Blog, so if, for some sick reason you actually enjoy reading my ramblings, please feel free to follow me on Twitter!
Cheerio! 
It’s plagued me for a few days now since I heard that the word was meant to be pronounced as “line uks” rather than “linniks”. I’ve always pronounced it as linniks, and apparently that’s OK, according to this article over at Suse Root.
A good read, however, the accompanying video doesn’t actually work. I got what I needed from the article though!
I’ve noticed a lot of these “Made on a Mac” notices at the bottom of websites, but no “Made on a PC” notices. I’m gonna change this though. Once I get around to it (not likely) I’m gonna add some notices to my sites, just for kicks
On another note, I’ve been very lazy lately. If you’re actually interested in reading my Blog, you should follow me on Twitter to get more frequent updates
Notice the large, middle-aged, nerdy-looking guy on the left? That’s not what I look like. And I’m a PC.
Since installing cforms (a comment form plugin for WordPress) on a few of my Blogs, I’ve noticed some strange spam making its way into my inbox.
Of course all of these weird spam emails come with lots of spam links, but some seem to contain short nuggets of wisdom (or so I think!). I can overlook the occasional typo, just as long as the information is helpful.
See, these aren’t comment forms, but email forms, so they’re sending me all of these spam links. Do they think I’m going to click them? Geez.
I’m writing this from my very first laptop/notebook – an Asus Eee PC. It’s very small and very cool. Not sure what else to say about it for now though 
Off to bed now!
I was watching it all unfold on Aussie TV (yep, we have TV down here in Australia), and was really pleased to see Barack Obama win the presidential election. Congratulations to the U.S.A. for choosing the better option out of the two!
