  I want to make the titles of my blog posts bold. Where and what do I change in the CSS?

  My blog is here.

  Also, I’d like to add this horizontol line to my blockquotes like Julian Sanchez does here. How do I do that?

  Blog titles are here ” h1, h2, .post-title “. Change the font-weight to bold. You might not like it though. To me it ends up looking too thick and heavy.

  On the line, I’m not sure. Typically I would think you should just be able to add ” border-left: 1px, solid, black ” to the ” blockquote ” section, but I tried that using Firebug and it did not work.

  OK, on the vertical line to the left of the blockquote, the following works if you add it to ” blockquote “.

  border-left:1px solid #000000;

  You can change the color hex code. The line ends up at the far left (aligned at the left side of the post area).

  OK, one more time. This seems to work and the line is inset closer to the blockquote text.

  blockquote {
  border-left:1px solid #000000;
  color:#2E3841;
  font-family:Courier,Courier,serif;
  font-size:1em;
  margin:0 30px 1.5em;
  padding:0 20px;
  }

  To adjust the distance between the line and the text, work with the second padding definition (20px). To adjust the amount of indent from the left post margin to the line, work with the second margin value (30px).

  Ergh. Okay one very last thing. The color between the border and the actual blockquoted text is different. I want to change the color of the bar to match that of the text Which one is the color I want? (I’m an idiot I know).
