Hi Jeff:
I was originally taught to do <b><strong></strong></b> but was "called" on that some time ago so I stopped. From discussions I've read, using <strong> is sorta like "shouting" at someone, so to speak? And I didn't want to do that. But I will rethink this. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

When I did my first XHTML site, I got validation errors using so I switched to using   in order to validate. Think it's because I'm using the UTF-8 char set <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />. That brings up something I'm not clear on. Can I use the iso-8859-1 char set in XHTML 1.0 Transitional? Then I could still use ?
