I made a WordPress plugin to make it easier to decorate links in the way I wanted for StrawberryCat.com. You can get it from github if you wish.
The effect I want is black text with a red underline, the way we achieve that is to style the links with:
a:link,
a:active,
a:visited
{
color: #c31;
text-decoration: underline;
}
And style the insidelink class with:
.insidelink
{
color:#000;
text-decoration: none;
}
The result is this:
Here is a link to StrawberryCat’s site, styled in the manner I describe above.
