 * Is is possible to control which category displays bold in a menu/minimise to 
   one, when the active post is in multiple categories.
 * I have my sidebar menu made up of categories. I have used the css selector .current-
   post-ancestor to display bold but is confusing to have multiple categories display
   bold.
 * Is there a better way of doing it?
 * Thanks

 * I hope this is clearer:
 * I have created a menu consisting of categroies. Some of our post need to go into
   more than one category. We want the categroy of the current post to be bold (
   I have done this by referencing ‘current-menu-parent’ in the css file). The problem
   now is, multiple categories appear bold. Can I control which of the multiple 
   categories displays bold?
 * Thanks
