The bold text is for links. Confused me at first, too. Really poor choice.

- trendia 9y agoI can mentally ignore links, but I don't mentally ignore bold. I assume that if an author is using bold, then they're trying to tell me something really important. But, if bolding hyperlinks becomes the "new style" of online writing, then I guess I'll have to slowly learn to desensitize myself to bolded text as well.
