I've always made the :visited attribute for hyperlinks look the same as links that haven't been visited, and it seems that it's the default behaviour across the web. I've never really given it much thought, until I actually used :visited in anger. My feed reader of choice, Miniflux uses the :visited attribute properly, making visited links purple. When reading posts from the hundreds of blogs I follow via RSS, I find it really useful to see if I've already visited a link within a post. So with that in mind, I've decided to change the CSS on this site slightly, and visited links are now purple. It's subtle, but obvious enough, I think: If you want to do something like this yourself, the CSS is very simple: a { color: #3995F7; } a:visited { color: #8839F7; } Do you use the :visited attribute on your blog? I feel like I don't see it used very often around the web. Thanks for reading this post via RSS. RSS is ace, and so are you. ❤️ You can reply to this post by email, or leave a comment.
