I know I asked a question similar to this earlier, but please help, this is the full question.

I want to make some text on my page bold and big. They will be like captions. A word will be bigger and bolder, then under it, will be the section. Here is what I have been doing and it hasn't worked.

For example, if I want a header to be 'Me', here is what I do. -

<big><b>Me</big>/b><br>
<br> (I put the<br> to skip spaces)
And here goes my text.

But the problem is, everything ends up like that. How do I fix it?

HTML works in a very simple, very logical, format, using “tags” Think of tags as making your structure. Let's say you want a heading. You will put a tag at the exact point you want the heading to start and another tag where you want the heading to stop. If you want just a word to be emphasized, you will place a start emphasis tag at the beginning of the word and an end emphasis tag at the end of the word.
All tag formats are the same. They begin with a less-than sign: < and end with a greater-than sign: >. Always. No exceptions. What goes inside the < and > is the tag. Learning HTML is learning the tag to perform whatever command you want to do.

In the old HTML standards, we used to use B for bold.

1. <b> is the beginning strong tag.
2. "Joe" is the word being affected by the <strong> tag.
3. </b> is the end strong tag. Notice it is exactly the same as the beginning tag except there is a slash in front of the tag command.
4. This is what the strong tags above produced: <b>Joe</b>


*You can use the tag <strong></strong> for the same effect.
*For header you can use: <h1></h1> you can increase the number to change the size font.
Good luck!!

the tag for a header is <h1><h2><h3> etc up to 6, not <big>. Also, you need to have the closing tags to be in the correct order, in stead of <big><b></big></b>, try <big><b></b></big>.

hope that helps!

The problem with your HTML code is improper closing of the tags. instead of "<big><b>Me</big></b>", itshould be "<big><b>Me</b></big>"
