    - Any CSS property can be used to style links (e.g. colour, font-family, background, etc.).

    - Links can be styled differently depending on what state they are in.

    - There are four links states:

    1. a:link - a normal, unvisited link

    2. a:visited - a link the user has visited

    3. a:hover - a link when the user mouses over it

    4. a:active - a link the moment it is clicked

    - Some order rules are followed while setting the style for several link states:

    1. a:hover MUST come after a:link and a:visited
    2. a:active MUST come after a:hover
