After studying Brett's [http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm]"Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone"[/url] something has me puzzled. Being a novice at html and working with MSFT Front Page,(don't fret or bang your head--I'm still a newbie to this stuff) is bold text the same as a heading tag? Or is it recognized as such with the search critters?
Thanks Guys and Gals:)

They're not the same thing. There are over a hundred variables that count in varying degrees. Kind of a basic check-list here that lists a lot of the factors:
There's bold, H1, H2, strong, emphasis, etc all of which can be made to look however we like with css. Some of these are more important for se's, some for users, and some for the visually impaired user. Its best to take advantage of css to design great sites for your users. I imagine Google wants to align what is best for the user with what is best for serps, then there will be no spam. They're not there yet.

They are quite a ways from being there

Validate your code at [validator.w3.org...] and tick the box for "Show Outline" (and "Show Source", "Verbose Output" and so on).
You will soon see the difference between a site using <p><font><b>... tags and one using <hx>... tags.
