how do you bold the text?

@alohagirl92 you should be able to throw any CSS into the <style> element starting on line 12. I Googled "css bold text" and got font-weight: bold; as the method.

Note all the text defined by this bit of HTML will be bold, not a part within that text. I know it can be done, but I don't know how to do that kind of thing.

@raleighlittles for those who need it... you're absolutely correct. :-)

This was my preferred balance between showing the time and reducing the amount of unnecessary/distracting motion on-screen.

I was also interested in timestamping with fractional seconds. You can change how often it refreshes in lines 40-44:

original (refreshes every 1000ms):
setInterval( c = function() { output.innerText = moment().format(urlParams["format"] || 'DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss'); // output.innerText = moment().format(urlParams["format"] || ''); }, 1000);

updated (refreshes every 10ms):
setInterval( c = function() { output.innerText = moment().format(urlParams["format"] || 'YYYY/MM/DD HH:mm:ss.SS'); // output.innerText = moment().format(urlParams["format"] || ''); }, 10);
