If you are feeling inclined to do some research into more HTML than we are covering in class, please read this Bad Tags article first. It answers a lot of those questions like "Why should I be using <em> instead of <i>?" Many online references are out-of-date, and may present HTML that is incorrect for this class.

I recommend the HTML Dog and W3 Schools references linked-to on the class page.
