This is embarrassing! I have been using a version of Eric’s Reworked Reset in conjunction with my main css for a couple of weeks now and I did not notice that the strong/bold feature was not working in the content of the blog. Putting it back in was easy but it reminded of all of the things that are turned off in the reset.css that affect its use with an existing website but do not break it. Generally speaking, I am using very few selectors that cover the whole web page. This means that I specify the area of the web page I want to affect. In my case I added the following code, #content strong {font-weight:bold;}, to override the default action for the content area of the web page. I also added #content em {font-style:italic;} to restore the default emphasis.
