    Hi there, I would assume this is easy. I don't want the menu items or blog post titles to be bold, I tried changing the font weight and that had no effect. Can anyone tell me what to change on the CSS? I'm using the Sample Theme.

    Thank you!

    Hello,

    I came up with this solution.

    /* style.css line ~686 */
    .entry-title {
    	font-size: 35px;
    	font-size: 2.2rem;
    	line-height: 1;
    	font-weight:  normal; /* set to normal font weight */
    }
    
    .entry-title a,
    .sidebar .widget-title a {
    	color: #686868;
    	font-weight: normal; /* set to normal font weight */
    }

    Your menu bar items had a font-weight of 300, which is pretty light. Were you able to fix those?

    Why didn't I think of that! It worked and yes, I found a font-weight: bold that I changed to normal.

    Thank you!
