Help with side Menu

  • Hi, please take a look at my blog here: https://www.chessinchicago.org/blog/
    The person I made this for wants the words on the menu to be more bold, such as “Post Comments,” “Categories,” etc. I can’t seem to get it right in the index.php file.
    If possible, I’d also like a links on the side to recent articles. I don’t know how this can be done, but I’ve seen it on other blogs. Thanks.

    Which css file? I’m a novice with this. Will I have to configure it, or will those menu headers automatically turn bold black?

    wp-layout.css is the file. Your blog loads it here:
    <style type="text/css" media="screen">
    @import url( https://chessinchicago.org/blog/wp-layout.css );
    </style>
    With the code above, the category header will get red, and bigger but only that category.
    ..try this instead
    #menu ul li {
    font-weight: bold;
    }
    #menu ul li ul {
    font-weight: normal;
    }
    If anything odd happens, don’t worry – that’s sometimes the way when playing with css, but post here and it will be sorted ??

    Yeah, this is driving me crazy. If you look at the menu on my page, the headers are very light, almost transparent. All I want is for those to be dark black, and I can’t seem to tweak this code. ??

    In your css, you have this:
    #menu ul {
    color: #ccc;
    font-weight: bold;
    list-style-type: none;
    margin: 0;
    padding-left: 3px;
    text-transform: lowercase;
    }
    Change the line to this
    color:#000;
    That’ll make them black

    Thanks, that did the trick! I wish this forum emailed me when you send me responses, but that’s cool. I guess none of them do that, because it doesn’t work on my blog either. Thanks a bunch!
