You did it like this,
[font color="white"]Text Message[/font][H1][font color="blue"][marquee]Text Message[/H1][/font][/marquee]
There is nothing wrong with the first part, so let's us just remove that for easier seeing, leaving us with the portion that created the error.
[H1][font color="blue"][marquee]Text Message[/H1][/font][/marquee]
Notice? You started with [H1] but you did not
end with [H1]. Think of it as an onion, start with one first, then add more layers onto it, giving you something like this,
[H1][font color="blue"][marquee]Text Message[/marquee][/font][/H1]
I added the [marquee] tag first, then the [font tag], and lastly, the [H1] tag.
While it may seem minor, it can create logical errors to the browser who is trying to read the HTML code. As a general rule of thumb, when you start with "a", end with "a". This is not a concrete rule, but it makes for neat and tidy coding, neat and tidy coding is very nice. I like neat and tidy coding, did I emphasise enough on neat and tidy coding?
Besides, neat and tidy coding will help ensure that you do not run into too many bugs.
