You didn't validate... only one markup error (spurious </div>) might be serious to styling (indirectly - if it reflects unintended <div> structure).

See the bold blue text (e.g., "Experience
Artemis in action!") in the middle column (Updates)?

Yes. It's confusing: by color, it looks like link, but it's not underlined like some other texts on the page.

I need it to have the
same teal color (#007F9E) as the adjacent hyperlinks.

That does not sound like a good idea at all. It would add to the confusion. But now to the technicalities...

Right now the text is
in a conventional text block and uses it as the style.

I don't quite see what you mean by that.

I'm using an external CSS page; here is a snippet that controls stuff in
this column:

#updates {
[...]
color: #000000;
}

I don't see how that relates to the issue - it sets the color to black. And it does not apply to the <strong> text.

When I open the page on Firefox with Firebug installed, right-click on some bold text we're discussion and select "Inspect Element", then the pane "Style" contains:

#wraper #updates p strong {
    color: #0000FF;
}

strong.teal {
    color: #007F9E;
}

so that the latter declaration is struck-out. This corresponds to what happens in the cascade: the rule with higher specificity wins.

If the rule for #wraper #updates p strong is removed, the <strong> text appears in teal color, as expected. So why is it there?
