 * 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?
 * My blog is at ‘www.jayjerome.com’ if you need to see the page source.

 * 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.

 * 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 ;’)
