  Hey,

  my bold-text function works fine, however when viewing the site, the text that is in bold is only VERY slightly in bold; almost undetectable.

  My question is: how do I make it so it’s ‘thicker’?

  I have taken a look at the style.css but am unsure which section points to bold text in a post.

  Can anyone offer me some suggestions?

  Thanks,

  k s c

  There is an example of the problem in this post: http://www.blog.killerstickmancomics.com/?p=146
  *The word ‘BOMB’ in the fifth paragraph, is in ‘bold’*

  Thanks for taking a look!

  I have the same problem. Bold text does not show up bold. It has been that way since I started blogging six months ago. Your instructions below (Allowed markup & backtic) make no sense to me. Need a more complete explanation.

  the moral of this story is to read the above comments, the blog linked to your name is not a wordpress.COM blog, so goto the wordpress.ORG forum.

  Actually if you dig deep enough on that site, you come up with this: http://manvantura.wordpress.com/ .
