That wepage will do it. If you arn't using css i suggest using the header tag for the headers and the font tag for the content. Keep in mind that a user can change the size of the font so don't rely on it being a certain size.

You should do that anyway, even if you are using CSS.

CSS is there to apply formatting to the structure of the document.



Here's a brief tutorial I made for someone else.

Hi wolf202,

Maybe css is a little too deep for now. You can alter the font
with an html tag.

<font face="Arial" size="4">this will be arial font</font>

enat makes a very valid point about the header tags (h1, h2, h3 etc) in that they should be used to indicate the structure of the document, so if you simply want a bit of text to be bigger use the font tag, or better CSS - not the heading unless it is a heading.

This is for accessibility reasons
