How to Make Words Bold in a Blog
Bold text can be a useful tool in a blog. You might use it to emphasize a point or to show an action that needs to be performed. Some blogging applications use a graphical interface that lets the blogger simply highlight a word or phrase and press a "B" button to bold the text, similar to the process used in a word-processing application. Other bloggers will have to add HTML code to the blog entry.
