Highlight text in WordPress post with css rounded border effect

This is actually the continuation of our previous article Highlight, add pressed effects to certain words in your WordPress blog. We advice you to read that article first to understand what is we are going to do.

So in the second method; we will make it rounded bordered highlight .

Some one asked ago elsewhere that codes are not working just showing these peculiar garbage like codes. So, remember to switch to HTML Editor, then copy paste the code and then switch back to normal and you will see that code is poetry.

It might not work for one sub standard closed source browser, but will always work for Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome, Chromium etc good browsers.
