basically, you want to write semantically correct markup. Using a div where you mean a h1 is semantically incorrect.
So will <h1><b><font face=verdana,timesroman size=5><center><font color="#660033">TITLE</font></center></font></b></p></h1> work?
Well Arcos, i can only suggest you learn CSS. Normally, a h1 bolds the text anyway, and has 100% width of it's parent block, so you can easily center align it. So what i'd do if i were you is: html: <h1>TITLE</h1> css: h1 { text-align: center; font-family: "Times New Roman", Verdana; color: #660033; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; } that does the same and is way, way, way easier to read for both a browser and a spider. In general my experience is that clean markup will do better than bad markup, all though i have no hard experiments to prove that statement.
There are a ton of tutorials online about CSS. If you want something lined up like a course and done with Flash then you should check out Lynda.com. There is a price but I think it is reasonable (if you get the monthly subscription) and it really helped me out. Just make sure you stop your subscription if you won't be using it for a month or two. You ought to also check out csszengarden for some awesome inspiration.
