Alex tells me that this is the current best way to bold ordered list items (the actual list item numbers, not the data in the list item):
<ol>
<li><span>list item</span></li>
<li><span>list item</span></li>
<li><span>list item</span></li>
</ol>
And the css:
ol {font-weight: bold;}
ol span {font-weight: normal;}
And here is an example:
- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3
- Item 4
And without it:
- I am boring
- Where is the emphasis?
- No one will notice

Cowboy Mulligan (D. T. Moore)
Summary: This is the mulligan stew Daddy used to “build” in a small bake skillet when he would be out on the range overnight. He often made it for our supper at home, and sometimes for breakfast. It smells and tastes wonderful. As an added bonus, it is super simple.
Ingredients:
- 4 or 5 thick slices of bacon diced
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 3 large potatoes, sliced into shoestrings
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 fresh tomato (optional)
- Water to cover all ingredients
Directions:
Sprinkle pepper in skillet. Add diced bacon and diced onion. Cook until bacon is slightly crisp and onions clear but not burned, over low-medium heat. Drain off excess bacon grease, add potatoes cut into fine showstrings. add salt to taste. If desired, dice tomato and add to potatoes. Add just enough water to cover potatoes. Turn heat to low or simmer, cover pan and let ingredients simmer until potatoes are tender. The juice will thicken like gravy from the starch in the potatoes. Serve with green vegetable or salad, or just by itself. Homemade bread adds a good touch. Especially good cooked over a campfire or coals.
Number Of Servings:Three large potatoes will make six generous servings. Increase ingredients to serve more.
Preparation Time:At sea level, about 30 minutes. In the higher elevations, about 45 minutes.
Variations: I personally use a block of salt pork instead of bacon, and just slice the potatoes about 1/8 - 1/4 of an inch thick, just like Grandma Lawson used to make it. Then when it is finished, slice the skin off of the salt pork and toss it, chop up the salt pork and add it back into the stew and serve.

Alex has released new versions of Tasks (2.5) and Tasks Pro (1.5). Shiny new features include: recurring tasks, task templates, favorites, new themes and PHP 5 compatibility.
I use Tasks Pro for myself, my company, as well as with several clients, and I find it to be absolutely necessary for organizing all of my project related things. It is not too heavy, web-based (great since I run multiple computers), and very efficient and easy to use.
Check it out: Tasks Pro: Web based Task Management Software

I saw a blog this morning with a blogmap on it by feedmap.net, and I was mildly intrigued. So I cruise on over to feedmap.net, and try to get my own blog on the map, no pun intended.
After trying all possbile combinations of URLs for my site and all of my feeds, feedmap seems to not like me. I keep getting the same error every time: ‘Unable to extract feed from the url’.
This sucks. I tried IE 6, Firefox, and Safari to no avail. What else can I do?
Update: I emailed Chandu, and it turns out that I am using a version of WordPress that sends out invalid HTTP headers. Modifying wp-blog-header.php as below solved the problem:

Now, if only the browse functionality worked in Firefox…
