How to Apply HTML Tags to Your Text in Expression Web

First, locate the HTML text tags located in the common or formatting toolbar. They will be hidden inside a dropdown menu as shown in the image below.

html tags

<-- This is the dropdown menu that is located in the common or formatting toolbar that runs across the top of the Expression Web Interface.

You will see the Font Family dropdown menu to the Right of this menu. Then you will see the font size drop down menu even further to the right.

Paragraph

<p> </p>

Used to define text as a paragraph.

Type some text into one of the divs of your layout. Then highlight that text with your cursor, and apply the <p> tag to the text by choosing <p> from the dropdown menu.

Heading Tags

<h1> </h1>

Level 1 Heading. This heading is by default the largest of the 6 heading tags. It is also deemed more significant than the other heading tags as far as search engines go.

Use <h1> headings for the top level of your content outline. In other words, make your on-page title using an <h1> heading tag. Then, use CSS to decrease the font size so that it's not ridiculously huge.

<h2></h2>

Level 2 Heading.

ETC....

It is a good idea to use at least <h1>, <h2> and <h3> on every web page. Rarely will you find a need for <h6>, <h5>. And only occasionally will find the need for <h4> headings.

<h6> is the smallest of all the headings by default. It carries far less significance than an h1 as far as SEO is concerned.

Tip: Never avoid using <h1> headings simply because the font size is too large. Use CSS to decrease the font size as necessary. You lose valuable SEO by NOT using heading tags.

Lists

Two Types of Lists:

1. Unordered Lists = a bulleted list <ul></ul>

2. Ordered Lists = a numbered list <ol></ol>

Within Each List are List Items. List Items are each wrapped inside <li> and </li> tags.

Address:

<address> </address>

Can be used for an address. Creates italicized and centered text.
