%h1 Inline Link Styles
%p Instead of sticking with the boring old <a class="underline" href="#">underline</a> and <a class="color" href="#">color switching</a> hover effects, why not go all out?
%p Maybe try using a <a href="#" class="threed">3D link style</a>, or a <a href="#" class="highlight">highlighter</a> effect. What if you want to keep <a href="#" class="animated-underline">links animating</a> while you're hovered over them, or give them a <a href="#" class="pulse">pulse</a>? You can! You can even go full <a href="#" class="chameleon">chameleon</a> all over your links. You can <a href="#" class="flip">flip</a> or <a href="#" class="spin">spin</a> them, or separate the <a href="#" class="shimmer"><span>l</span><span>e</span><span>t</span><span>t</span><span>e</span><span>r</span><span>s</span></a> for some cool <a href="#" class="wave"><span>e</span><span>f</span><span>f</span><span>e</span><span>c</span><span>t</span><span>s</span></a> if you really want to. Honestly, though, the best one is <a href="#" class="chameleon3d">3D chameleon</a>.
%p And, if you're feeling really crazy, you combine many effects <a href="#" class="threed chameleon highlight flip">like this</a>, but don't.
