What is the difference between the <strong> and <b>

it's really all about semantic HTML.

tag doesn't tell you anything about the content, and is thus not a semantic representation of your content.
<strong>
on the other hand gives you an indication about the semantic meaning of the item you're putting the tag around. Same goes with
<i> and <em>.

Matt says that the only difference between the two tags is that that <strong> tag refers to presentation, while the <b> tag is a semantic label. But he reminds us that in practice they both do the same thing, every browser just uses the tags to make text bold. [1]
