Thanks for assigning this issue to me. I'm starting to work on it and will keep this PR's description up to date as I form a plan and make progress.

Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Accessibility issue: Links must be distinguishable without relying on color on /</issue_title>
<issue_description>## What
An accessibility scan flagged the element <a href="https://stateofopencon.com/">State of Open Con 25</a> on https://ox.ca because links must be distinguishable without relying on color. Learn more about why this was flagged by visiting https://dequeuniversity.com/rules/axe/4.11/link-in-text-block?application=playwright.

To fix this, ensure links are distinguished from surrounding text in a way that does not rely on color.

Specifically:

Fix any of the following:

  • The link has insufficient color contrast of 1.27:1 with the surrounding text. (Minimum contrast is 3:1, link text: #267cb9, surrounding text: mgifford/ox.ca#666666)
  • The link has no styling (such as underline) to distinguish it from the surrounding text

Acceptance Criteria

  • The specific axe violation reported in this issue is no longer reproducible.
  • The fix MUST meet WCAG 2.1 guidelines OR the accessibility standards specified by the repository or organization.
  • A test SHOULD be added to ensure this specific axe violation does not regress.
  • This PR MUST NOT introduce any new accessibility issues or regressions.
