If It’s Not a Hyperlink, Don’t Underline It
Posted on August 8th, 2007 by Peggy Duncan
One of my pet peeves when reading electronically, either in an email message or on a Webpage, is text that’s underlined but not a live link.
Spread the word. Don’t do this. There are all kinds of ways you can make text stand out.
- Make it bold.
- Change to a different color.
- Change the typeface.
- Increase the font size.
- Change it to italics.
If your document is loaded with these underscores, what will make me continue to try the ones that might actually be a live link?
