does the ‘bold’ appear properly when viewing the single post?
then it possibly a case of ‘the_excerpt()’ vs ‘the_content()’ in the template responsible to show the posts (index.php ?)

or a case of a over-active reset style in style.css of your theme (?)
purely guessing without seeing your site live to illustrate the problem.

Try adding this to the bottom of your style.css:
strong {
font-weight: bold !important;
}
Or… If you use Firefox, use the firebug plugin to highlight why bold does nothing.
I don’t have the excerpt when creating posts. alchymyth, what do you mean by the over-active reset style?
Phil, I tried your idea but it didn’t work.
the main point of my reply is actually ‘without seeing your site live’ nobody can really help; there is just not enough information to work with.
post a link to your site to get more suggestions.
right at the start of style.css is this section beginning with:
/* Reset
this also sets ‘strong’ to show normal font weight;
follow the suggestion by @phil and add the suggested code to style.css of your theme.
or remove strong, from the list of the reset styles.
I’ve deleted ‘strong’ from the Reset section and added Phil’s suggestion but it still hasn’t worked.
