Mimicking TorrentFreak’s Semantic Style: First Paragraph Bold In WordPress
January 31, 2008 – 4:59 pm
Many developers love how TorrentFreak semantically lays out their blog.
The following tutorial will help you display the first paragraph normally on the Main Index Template of your WordPress blog ….

while making it bold in the full story (or Single Post) page when you click Continue… as seen below.

Getting Started
You need to be familiar with themes. In this tutorial, I will be using the default them with WordPress.
– index.php — Main Index Template
In this file, you will change this:
<?php the_content(’Read the rest of this entry »’); ?>
to this:
<?php the_excerpt(’Read the rest of this entry »’); ?>
– single.php — Single Post
In this file, you will add this just below the DIV class=entry
<b><?php the_excerpt(); ?></b>
