b> Why using a:link ?
b> <a> </a> means that the word inside is a link
b> a { color:blue; text-decoration:underline; }
b> is the same as setting
b> a:link { color:blue; text-decoration:underline; }
b> Link is a redundant tag
I don't know the intricacies of all this, but I believe there is a
distinction. <a> </a> identifies an anchor. Anchors can be used for
other uses besides just hyperlinks. <a href=""> </a> identifies a
link. If you use a { } to style all links, you may accidentally
capture other uses of the anchor tag. However, a:link { } will
properly style JUST the hyperlink usage of the anchor tag.
