News Module Modification?

fact is that when I touch code, bad things happen. I'm hoping that someone can help me out with a modification that should in theory be quite simple.

I use the news module on the site I manage; www.cmgtoronto.ca. Works great but I'd like the headlines, just under the dates, to POP out a bit more. I want to make them Bold. Any idea what I would need to change on the stylesheet to do this?

The sheet is here:   http://cmgtoronto.ca/stylesheet.txt

I think you need to modify style sheet 'Elvis_CMG_News' find

Code: Select all

.NewsSummaryLink a {
line-height: 120%;

}
and change to

Code: Select all

.NewsSummaryLink a {
line-height: 120%;
font-weight: bold;
}
You can inspect styles of any item in your site with couple of tools. Links are listed below  :D  :D
firebug(FF),
developers tools(IE),
web developers toolbar (FF),
debug bar (IE),
developer tools (opera)

Hi Peciura,

I have a feeling I'm going to sound foolish here...I have no idea what these developer tools you speak of are...Where can I find them?

These tools are all browser specific plugins or add-ons.

For example, if you use Firefox for your web work, you would want to download/install the Web Developer add-on.  Google is your friend, or you can search from within Firefox (Tools > Addons).
