Cqwp, after succesfully creating an item style, I would like to apply some basic formatting to some fields

Question

My guide has been

I am not able to figure out myself how to make the title bigger (and/or bold) or to add 'published on' before the date field.
Also, possibly, adding the hyperlink to the name of user who posted (that links it to his profile page), number of comments (that simply links to the blog post, whether there are comments or not and also the categories that links to blog categories' posts.
It would be enough to make the title bold or bigger, tho. I just need someone that clues me in on XML/XSL

Answer 1

You can add a custom CSS class to the title and set the font style in your custom/alternate css.
<a class="blog-post-title" href="{$SafeLinkUrl}" title="{@LinkToolTip}">
You can try adding "Published On" text before the date as shown below:
<div class="custom_date">
Published On <xsl:value-of select="$StartDate" />
</div>
