 * Whenever I wrap some text in a “b” “/b” markup, to make it bold, wordpress automatically
   changes it to a “strong” “/strong” markup. Which seems to simultaneously make
   the text bold AND SMALLER. Surely there’s a way to make my text bold without 
   changing the size… what is it?

 * If the WordPress editor is changing the HTML `<b>` tag to a CSS `<strong>` tag,
   you will need to adjust that style element in your style.css file to address 
   this issue.
