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.

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.

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!

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?
