Is that because the link text is already in bold?

TJH, that would be because of this:

A  {font-weight : bold; text-decoration : none;}

in the style sheet (which also removes the underline). Thus, all text between the <A HREF> and </A> tags will be bold, regardless of bold tags inserted by the user.

Unless your browser doesn't support style sheets.

... in which case you should get one of the newfangled, steam-powered browsers which does support style sheets, ye Amish.
