Where are you seeing B tags? The bolding option here uses STRONG.

What does it matter, as long as it still works?

Heathen! I suppose we should still use the <font> tag, eh?

I do sometimes!  Although I will say that a CSS style sheet is better in the long run.

Those tags lack closing tags. If they're not meant to have closign tags, they should be self closing.

Also, who knows when Firefox, Chrome, or IE decide to just drop the <b> tag? God only knows what kind of weird crap will happen if <b> is still on the page. 99% of the time it just wouldn't show up, but sometimes bad browsers like IE will decide that you meant to put </div> instead of </b> or something retarded like that.

No. Apparently it's a horrible attempt at humor.

I save the insults until I get to know somebody.

Anything anally related should be self closing...

I thought I played it pretty safe. It's tricky when you dabble with another cultures slang.

I agree. < b> tags are bad.  Very bad.  But unfortunately fixing it is a very low-priority task.  I'll see what I can do though.

Until PHP and Javascript, Web Design and Development is laughably easy.

You can learn all of HTML in three days. You can learn all of CSS in two days. 
For graphics, Photoshop/GIMP takes a year to fully learn the UI. 

PHP is really neat when you can make it do what you want, but as a first language, it's hard to learn

Javascript is bizzare gibberish

Javascript isn't fun until you use a javascript library like jQuery.  Then it feels like you have the world open to you.

Just joined to say that the "b" tag isn't actually deprecated. It can still be used and validates. Its use is "discouraged" and you should instead be using the "strong" tag or CSS... but yeah... not deprecated.

It might not be deprecated, but its meaning will change come HTML5: http://stellify.net/html5-b-and-i-tags-are-going-to-be-useful-read-semantic-again/
