The link on your web page is correct so I would also check your master style sheet

The menu used at the top has resulted in all linked text (<a></a>) changing colour on hover which means any links will do the same.
You need to create a new CSS entry something like this
#underline a, #underline a:hover { text-decoration: underline;}
Then in your main page where you want to see an underlined link do the following:
<span id="underline"><a href="somefile.html">Underlined link</a></span>
Hovering over the link will probably still change its color and remove the underline so you will need to experiment with a:hover CSS entries

The following lines control how links look:
a:link {
text-decoration: none;
color: #E6D4BA;
}
a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
color: #E6D4BA;
}
a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
color: #ffffff;
}
:link is the normal state of a link
:hover means what happens when you hover over a link (in your case the color of the hovered state)
:visited defines what a visited link looks like
So add what I detailed earlier to the styles.css and the span code to your pages. You may need to add an a:visited entry to what I posted.

The
Fenphotos Blogsite link does work, but the construction of the source is not constructed correctly with title etc and hence doesnt show up as a link until you hover over it.
The link to http://www.van-der-ham.net. aalso doesnt work because it has a full stop after net
if you don't believe me look at the source of the program by right mouse clicking and look at the raw text source.

Quote from: pierre_pierre The link to http://www.van-der-ham.net. aalso doesnt work because it has a full stop after net
First point, without looking at the site being debated;
URL's do work if they have a . (full stop) after the top level domain.
Although you don't see them commonly, the full stop after a TLD is implied anyway, but the anally techy amongst the IT world would point out that they do exist.
It basically delimits the TLD, so that DNS knows to start looking for the domain starting at the [internet DNS] root.
Theres a better explanation that I could manage here - worth a read.

Links here are designed to be underlined, whilst links on Shutters site are not (the jAlbum skin he uses is designed to look modern/contemporary/"clean")
As has already been said, the problem is not with the links, its merely the way that our browsers are being instructed to display them by the site itself.
