How do I BOLD a hyperlink?

    I’m using Theme Nerima Daikon 3c, but the ‘hyperlinks’ I embed in written posts don’t stand out very well visually. I want to show them in bold, but presently all the ‘links’ in the theme, including those shown in the sidebars (Meta, Pages, Feeds, Recent Posts, etc), are controlled by the style sheet css code shown under:
    ‘a, a:visited, a:active.’

    I can add the command ‘font-weight: bold’ to that selector, but again, that makes all the links bold. I only want to bold the hyperlinks, not the others. Can anyone tell me what code to add, and where?

  • Find what selectors surround your post/entry area, then write a specific selector for that link; for instance, if your post/entry area is .post .storycontent, then your link selector would look like this:

    .post .storycontent a {
    font-weight:bold;
    }

    All of your links are hyperlinks. Those two terms are the same (“link” is merely a shortened version of “hyperlink”).

    You want this in your CSS:
    #contents a
    {
    font-weight: bold;
    }

    That should do the trick and only affect those links in your entries.

    I only want to bold the hyperlinks, not the others.

    What links are not “hyperlinks”?

    You could try being more selective in the application of style:

    div.post-content a, div.post-content a:hover, div.post-content a:visited, div.post-content a:active {
    font-weight: 700;
    }

    (example, don’t just cut and paste ;’)

    tsguitar: thanks, your suggestion worked perfectly!

    and moshu– as to what links are not ‘hyperlinks’ would those be blithelinks? … just kidding… and slowly improving my tech vocabulary
