 * Whenever i use the visual to write new pages or posts, the UNDERLINE doesn’t 
   recognize the CSS for the different underline. How do I go about fixing it? It
   just does it’s own underlining and I have no idea why it is doing that. I go 
   to the HTML way of editing, and then it takes away the bold formatting to add
   the Underlining when I use the <u></u> code.
 * Help please.

 * an easier way is probably to apply a `<span>` to the text, then add css styling
   to the span. Or add bold to the css style of the underline, or add an underline
   to the css styling of the bold. This does not of course address the issue of 
   using an underline on text that is not a link…

 * Well this is what I have in my CSS
 * >  b, strong {
   >  color: #d72133; }
   > i, em {
   >  color: #f55468; }
   > u {
   >  font-weight:normal; letter-spacing: 0px; color: #000000; border-bottom:
   > 2px solid #78ffa5;}
 * And whenever i use the underline text format to write a post or page, it does
   not recognize this formating and just does normal underlining. I want to figure
   out why it is doing this.
    Any ideas?
