 * Some of the link descriptions on the left hand side of the screen on my site 
   turn bold when I move the mouse over the link. This only happens in Firefox and
   I’m not sure what would cause it. I’ve tried few different font sizes with no
   luck. Would anyone know what causes this?
 * Here’s a link to my site: [http://www.jump-punch.com](http://www.jump-punch.com)

 * Jared I only found two instances of bold text decoration in your .css
 * `
    .commentlist li { font-weight: bold; }
 * .commentlist cite, .commentlist cite a {
    font-weight: bold; font-style: normal;
   font-size: 1.1em; }
 * But a quick check to see if your page was xhtml transitional revealed this:

 * I had inserted that tag with the intention of changing it later. I’m still working
   in more and more parts of the site. I’ve noticed the the stranging bolding effect
   on other sites as well. I don’t know if it’s only a Firefox for Max issue or 
   if it happens in Windows as well. I tried looking at the site with two other 
   browsers and did not see the weird bolding.
