What is an easy way to change the color of my hyperlinks. It is defaulting to blue and I need white and gray. Thank you for your help.

and its widely unpopular to do most people want their links standard colour, im sure its in the top 5 of the web design mistakes.

i doubt that one noellees -- i change all my links -- in fact most sites change their links to fit their design.

I would like proof you might have to changing links colors is a major mistake.

zzzzzz

years ago i printed off some web design info it said that link colour changing was a big mistake.
I see what you mean even tek-tips change their link colour.
Just remember reading it off something!

but in reality a lot of Jakob Neilsen's stuff assumes that 90% of users are still in 1995 and have absolutely no idea that the world has moved on. (NN4 users)
I change all my links to suit the site design and providing you stick to some general principles and are consistent in your approach there should be no problem.
as deecee says use CSS, it's what it was designed for.

Using Dreamweaver go to Modify>Page properties and set the colours there.

I know we can make recomendations that CSS is a better means of achieving the objective.

Sometimes though we can be guilty of forgetting that users of the forums may just want the simple GUI solution. Which is why I posted the above as an extra to the excellent CSS answer.
