Adding H1 and H2 tags to page?

[box3142]

I'm hoping somebody can help me with adding meta descriptions and H1 and H2 tags with keywords to my page.
I'm a newby to web design so the more basic the instruction the better. (I'm using GoLive 6 on a Mac.)
If you know of a page I can look at (view source) - that would be helpful as well.
I don't want to add a 100+ keywords, probably more like 10 or so (trying to avoid the spammer mentality). Just want to be as Google friendly as possible.
Thanks for your help.

H1 tags are easy.. just place

<h1> keyword </h1>
<h2> keyword 2 </h2>

and so on.. to change the style of the H1 tags (because they tend to appear in a large and bold font size) use this code: (just change the properties below)



<STYLE TYPE="text/css">

H1 {font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; color: white}

</STYLE>

Here's an article which pretty much covers both your question regarding implementing h1 / h2 tags, how to go about adding your meta tags as well as virtually everything else you might need to know:

Hope this helps. :)
