I don't know whether you want general commentary; if no, I remain unoffended by being completely ignored. ;)

If your intent is in fact to explain how to use different tags, which it seems to be, then I think telling folks what the anchor tag is without a context example is rarely useful. Er: credential: I taught periodic html workshops for about 6 years starting before there were particularly usable WYSIWYG editors. The A tag is one that folks just never got without the whole link and the linked text. (e.g., <a> always gets an attribute explaining where the link is to, such as <a href="http://www.dreamwidth.org">Dreamwith</a>, which gets you Dreamwidth)

Also, your blockquote example is not, on my monitor, blockquotey.

Also also, while I agree that the h1-h6 tags are hierarchical headings, the description of them as largest to smallest and the example text are problematic because practically speaking, h5 and h6 look identical (on my monitor), so h6 doesn't look smaller than h5.

Uh, those last two could be style issues within the celerity site scheme, I suppose, in which case perhaps I should report them.

A: it's more a "that" than a "how", but i'll take any help i can get, since what i know about html would fit into a very small thimble.

B: i can't get most of these to show their attributes -- including the ones you mention -- and I'm using tropo. Maybe this is a bug?

FYI, I use the celerity site scheme and neither blockquote nor small tags work. I haven't gotten around to checking if it's been reported yet. :)

I agree with the A tag. It's better to have A HREF and A ADDRESS as separate entries.
