Probably a simple H1 tag question

[Ritch111]

What is the best way to write your H1 tags?

Is it best to get the Header tag right next to the phrase or word? For example.
<H1>Find the Best information</H1>

or

is it ok to have other HTML code in between, such as style, font, etc?

How do you keep the font normal size and not freak the page out when you make the tags like <H1>Find the Best information</H1>

I'm having a tough time keep the font the size I want.

Thanks,
Ritch

Define the font face and style for your H1 tags in your stylesheet. That way you can make them the same size as your body text.

MarcieZoob,

Thanks for the reply. I'm coming from a frontpage enviroment and forgot about adding this to the style sheet.

Thanks,

Here's the offical w3c reccomendation:

Tip: Write all tags in lower case to make a future switch to xhtml easier <h1> instead of <H1>.

Additionally, maybe you should set the initial font size in your CSS to 101% - due to a bug in some browsers (cant recap which ones) font sizes of the h tags may be rendered just too big. That way, you can keep them in ems or percentages and do not have to fix the sizes (if your design can adapt to larger/smaller font sizes).
