Michele, I see that on your link tags that you've designated them to be 
bold text.

/* -- MAIN CONTENT LINKS -- */
a:link {
text-decoration : none ;
font-weight : bold ;
color : #A04410 ;
}

a:visited {
text-decoration : none ;
color : #A04410 ;
font-weight : bold ;
}
a:hover {
text-decoration : underline ;
color : #663300 ;
font-weight : bold ;
}
a:active {
text-decoration : none ;
color : #663300 ;
font-weight : bold ;
}

So, I'd suggest removing the font-weight:bold attribute from your link tags 
and try that. If you want other ones to be bold, then just designate a 
class for those.

I think it's just the above link tags, so see if that's it. You might check 
other tags to make sure they're not accidentally designated as bold, too, 
but your <ul> and <li> were OK, and so was the menu tag.

HTH.

Warmly,
Shirley
