well, i do agree with this because when you look at it from the visitors point of view, and with this i mean the people who aren’t experienced with usability etc. They do look for those blue underlined links.

For example when your grandmother, uncle or father where browsing the web and visiting a site, they will look for those blue underlined links because there used to. And I’m sure there are plenty of users who think this way.

When we as designers and developers don’t want this then we do need to find different solutions to make visitors aware of these links.

“By being consistent you are reducing confusion and improving the user’s experience. If a person visits your website and can’t find a single underlined blue word he/she immediately has to determine how the links are styled on the website.”

This is wrong, I mean c’mon. How many websites do you see these days with blue underlined links? The whole point of a client contracting a web designer is to make their website usable and accessible. If it’s the case that a visitor has difficulty determining what are links and what is text, the web designer has failed to their job correctly.

Great article, however.
