I think I see the problem.
If you skim through the article quickly, you don't see much difference between the black text and the red text with the linky. Especially if you're not expecting a linky. There isn't much contrast here (Chrome in a Winders laptop with default 100% text size).
The old convention of underlining links may have looked old-fashioned, but it had advantages.
Blue might be a better link color for you (though it probably clashes with your theme) - http://www.w3.org/WA...ink-contrast.html
