Hi there,
is there any way I can change the font-weight only for links? I don't want them to be "bold" or in the
<strong> </strong>
tags.I just want to change the font weight from 500 to 600 (or something like that).
I was playing with firebug and for a second I made it work, but then I lost it and can't find the magic line anymore.Theme is newspro, site is not live.
Thanks

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { color: #000; font-weight: 700; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0 0 16px; margin: 0 0 1.6rem; }

no basically what I'm trying to do is this.here is some sample text for you
to become
here is some sample text for you
by default.
Is that possible?
ThanksNovember 22, 2013 at 10:48 pm #75123nutsandboltsMemberOh, okay! Sorry about that. I thought you were saying they were a stronger weight and you didn't want them to be.
In the Defaults section of your stylesheet, find this:
a { color: #ff0000; text-decoration: none; }
And you can either change it to this:
a { color: #ff0000; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; }
or this (which is the same thing since the theme says bold is 700 weight):
a { color: #ff0000; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 700; }
Hopefully that helps!

Only problem is that even the "post info and meta" now gets bold (posted by Fabio) which is not ideal.
Is there any way I can avoid that?Also, since you have been so helpful I have another couple of questions a little out of the box:
1) Do you do custom work? I have a major web design customization in my wishlist for 2014 and in case this is possible I'll ask you for a quote (of course not on this forum).2) Totally out of the box: in your opinion what CMS does this website use: toptenreviews [dot] com?
They don't seem to use wordpress, but I love the static way in which that site is organized and have a project to get a website with the same static feel, but since all I know is wordpress I have no idea how these other websites (that are not wordpress) are managed and how they upload and edit content. I would do a search on google but just have no idea what to search for!!!! Could you please give me a small hint for me to do a search on google and understand how these kind of sites (like toptenreviews [dot] com) work on the backend?Thanks for your help!

.entry-meta { color: #999; font-size: 12px; font-size: 1.2rem; text-transform: uppercase; }
and change it to this:
.entry-meta { color: #999; font-size: 12px; font-size: 1.2rem; text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: 400; }
I do custom work - my website link is in my signature if you want to get more info.
Top Ten Reviews isn't using a known CMS of any kind; the code looks custom. The disadvantage in a custom coded site (or custom CMS) is the inability of the owner to make easy changes or edits - most of the time, developers who create these sites want the client to be dependent on them for updates or maintenance. I have a project scheduled in January where I'll be rebuilding a site on WordPress that is currently using a custom CMS, simply because the owner is tired of paying hundreds of dollars a month for the dev to do small things like add a picture or change the wording on a page.
When I started developing websites about 18 years ago, straight HTML/CSS/PHP was the only way to do it. It was a nightmare for people to manage their own sites and most of them were terrified to touch the code (and rightfully so). When WordPress came on the scene, it was a huge step toward today's internet where literally anyone can start a website and update it themselves. I choose only to work with WordPress because (1) anything is possible and (2) I don't want my clients to be stuck with me if they don't want to be. 🙂
