make them strong
I am a string about things. Some of these things are more important than others, so I will make them strong to stand out among less spectacular neighbors.
This is bold and this is strong.
This is italic text and this is emphasized text.
Exercises for Chapter 1:
1.2.1 Identify all the tags in the following:

1.3.1 Add and commit a file called README.md, taking care to use at least a few Mark-down (https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) tags. What is the result at GitHub?
I will be using my own domain vs git if this is okay? This book/guide seems to require a bunch of previous knowledge that I don't have and I don't like to just 'follow directions' without knowing what I am doing, because acting blind is just plain dangerous.
What happens if you visit the publically published readme.md file? What does it imply about including sensitive information in a public website/repository?
If you visit a publically available file, then you (or anyone) can access it. Which is why it is not wise to post sensitive information publically.
1.4.1 Replace the context of index.html (or htmlclass.html) and what does the <a> tag do?
The <a> tag creates an @ target for linked hypertext.
Using a web inspector inspect the source from the exercise, and does it differ in any way from the example text?
Not really (other than some other changes I have made.
