Dealing with the anchor tag

Here is an example of the five (5) statements about anchors which should be in a CSS file:

a {
  font: italic 100%/1.0 Georgia, serif;
}
a:link { 
  color: #0000FF;
}
a:visited {
  color: #FF0000;
}
a:hover {
  background: #FFFF00;
}
a:active { 
  color: #00FF66;
}

And here is how to deal with images which are also anchors:

Examples

Without applying the above styles:
image-anchor linked to
and text-anchor linked to the IT Dept
