 * As a first test of this plugin, I inserted the code:
    `<strong>`
 * It didn’t change the appearance of the post links.

 * For some reason, I didn’t get the notice that you posted here. Sorry for the 
   delay in answering.
 * I added a class called “htmlplusrecpostsbycat” to the plugin so that you can 
   easily select and customize the CSS of all its elements. Putting the HTML `<strong
   >` in the text field will affect any text you put in the text box, but it won’t
   affect the links, which are generated programmatically. To customize the look
   of the post links, you’d use the following custom CSS to make them bold:
 *     ```
       .htmlplusrecpostsbycat li a {
       	font-weight: bold;
       }
       ```
   
 * You can use that selector to customize the other elements as well.

 * I apologize for not responding sooner. I guess I missed the email notification.
 * Thank you for explaining how I can get the results I want. I was trying to use
   that plugin on a church site to show their events (posts). I took a quick look
   at the site, and I see I decided to use the plugin **Recent Posts Extended** 
   instead.
 * I have copied the above to a text file to which I can refer if the opportunity
   arises again.
