 * Noticed that the title for the link text changes wether you are logged in or 
   out. (bold logging in, not bold logged out)
    Is this customizable with CSS to
   have it bold (and possibly larger) all the time and override the font color from
   the theme settings. The actual link text is very small so would like to be able
   to override this size and link text color with CSS.
 * Thanks,
    Troy

 * Also would like the link text to display wider. Currently it seems to be contained
   in a container of a certain width. It would be nice to have it display about 
   80% of the width of the link thumbnail. (I do have the link size customized with
   CSS from [@bojan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bojan/))

 * Hey again Troy,
 * I’ve tested this on my end and it appears that you’re right as this CSS is not
   being loaded for visitors. I’ve notified our developer for some feedback on this
   one.
 * For now you can just add this to your custom CSS file:
 *     ```
       .bpfb_link_preview_title {
       	font-weight: bold;
       	font-size: 1.1em;
       }
       ```
   
 * This will apply the same css everywhere. You can also use this selector to increase
   the size as well as color so just add properties like font-size and color to 
   adjust it to what ever suits you the most.
 * Cheers,
    Bojan

 * Any way to to fix the second post above… increasing the size of the container
   that the link text is fitting into?

 * Also… can the text color of the URL link itself… example [http://theurltothelink.com/link](http://theurltothelink.com/link)
   be changed… to like red so users can really see that it is an external link post.

 * Hey again Troy,

 * The container is already set to 100% width, please see screenshot
    [http://screencast.com/t/CQUfQZyR3](http://screencast.com/t/CQUfQZyR3)
 * > Also… can the text color of the URL link itself
 * As I already menitoned you can simply add color property to the same selector
   I used to make it bold above. For example something like this:
 *     ```
       .bpfb_link_preview_title {
       	font-weight: bold;
       	font-size: 1.1em;
               color: #eedb73;
       }
       ```
   
 * Just replace the color hex value to which ever color you want to display.
    You
   can use sites similar to this one to get hex value for the color of your choice:

 * Yes, I got this… but this changes just the Title of the link post. I am wondering
   if the color of the actual url text can be changed. The text that is actually
   the url string.

 * Hey Troy,
 * In this case try adding the following:
 *     ```
       .bpfb_final_link .bpfb_link_preview_url a {
           color: #eedb73;
       }
       ```
   
 * this should the actual color of the link there.
 * Cheers,
    Bojan
