Additionally, <strong> conveys a meaning - showing the text strongly - while <b> (for bold) conveys a method - bolding the text. With strong, your code still makes sense if you use CSS stylesheets to change what the methods of making the text strong is. The same goes for the difference between <i> and <em>

The difference is, that Internet Explorer uses <strong> </strong> for bold text, while other browsers use <b> </b> in stead
