Can't get rid of bold text formatting.

I'm  having trouble determining why my text  is all coming up in bold font. I will appreciate a pair of fresh eyes on this page: Spring Art Tour

Thanks!

    Short answer:  Code errors.

    Long answer:  You have many unclosed tags which would explain why <strong>  text is being carried over to successive lines.   Fix your code errors and things will fall into place.

    In DW CC, go to Window > Results > Validation.

    Click on the large triangle to check current document.

    Take it line by line in the validation results.

    There are unclosed <strong> HTML tags throughout the code so everything inside those tags will be bold.

    Fix the code errors and close/remove the unwanted <strong> tags to get normal font.

    Was the text copied and pasted from somewhere?

    Thanks Nancy. I had looked for that in the code before to no avail. After your reply I did a search through the code in that document and found the one "<strong>" that wasn't closed. Removing it solved my problem. You always have a simple way of explaining things that is so helpful!

    The link he gave is the results of running your page through an html validator.

    Your html has a number of structural errors in it.

    Until those errors are taken care of, you will likely have display problems.

    You have an unclosed <strong> tag on line 39 that will make everything after it bold. It's likely you could simply remove the opening tag and be good to go.
