How do you indicate a clickable UX?
Apply clear visual cues to links.
Make it clear that links are clickable—avoid making users mouse over text to see if it's clickable. For example, make links blue or another color that stands out from the body text.
Should tags be clickable?
Tags, in terms of markup, should ideally be links because they usually redirect the user to the archives page of that tag. However, in terms of visualization, it doesn't matter whether you display the tag as a link, a button, a block of text, or even a dancing elephant.
How do you indicate something is a hyperlink?
The traditional cue for hyperlinks is blue text, like we're using here. And buttons, like their real-world counterparts, are rectangular, and have a 3-D appearance. These conventions provide the strongest perceived affordance of clickabilty and in early years we recommended that buttons and links follow these patterns.
