Its a poor design practice and negates the power of the <h> tag.
Thanks, p1r,
That was going to be my next question. I understand there is " power" in the <h1> and related tags. Can you explain that power more fully? Also I understand there should only be one <h1> tag on any give page, correct?

Why would you want to control them through another way than css?
Two reasons for the time being.
First, I don' t yet know how to properly create Cascading Style Sheets. Hopefully that is about to change. I' m currently taking a Web Programming course and we begin CSS this week.
Secondly, I' m working on a class assignment which must include the <h1>, <h2>, etc. tags. Other than wanting to make the large <h1> type smaller so the project looks nicer, there is neither rhyme nor reason that I must do so.
Personally, I think the default size and look of the <h1> tag is clunky and ugly. To me, large text on web pages is one of the most frequently used design mistakes made by many aspiring web designers.
I was unaware, though suspected, that changing the look and size of these tags would alter the way a browser interprets them, so I look forward to your response.
As always, thanks.
