Tim To keep it really simple: Spec + SEO + Good IA + Semantics + Accessibility + Common sense == One H1 per page Hope this makes sense? Thanks, Jason On Fri, Oct 16, 2009 at 2:39 PM, Tim White wrote: > OK, straight from Google Webmaster Central: > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIn5qJKU8VM&f

Yuval, Everything exists on the Internet, but it doesn't mean it's good. So pages with multiple subject do exist, they are just known as 'bad pages' from IA perspective. ;-) On Fri, Oct 16, 2009 at 1:10 PM, Yuval Ararat wrote: > I am not sure that a page with multiple important subject does not

Re: More than one H1? (was [WSG] Out of Office AutoReply: WSG Digest)

The issue with having more then 1 H! tag is not the validity of the page as XHTML or HTML5 or any other specification, its not even affecting WCAG1/2. the only case that is affected is the search engines relationship with H1 that entitled it as the Content's Title. it is not mandatory that it will

Re: More than one H1? (was [WSG] Out of Office AutoReply: WSG Digest)

Tim, Well done for reading the spec - it's always a must. However, Google came after the HTML4.01 spec and what Google wants we give it - so the 'only one H1 per page' guideline comes from SEO best practices as well as general semantics and IA best practices. So the spec does not tell you to use

[Spam] :Re: More than one H1? (was [WSG] Out of Office AutoReply: WSG Digest)

While I agree that you can have several areas of equal importance on a page. I still beg to differ that you would want to saturate the effectiveness of a h1 tag by using it by wrapping it around the logo. It seems to me to be a little like the infamous "can you make my logo a little bigger" tha

Re: More than one H1? (was [WSG] Out of Office AutoReply: WSG Digest)

Speaking as both publications, graphic and web designer, the real problem has always been that the title resides in the head, not in a title tag inside the body. H1 is reserved for the title of the page. In a document, at least, there's only one title, while there may be many first level headings.T

Re: More than one H1? (was [WSG] Out of Office AutoReply: WSG Digest)

Thanks for your responses... Why use more than one H1? Simple...2 areas of the page that are of equal importance. Why should it only be one? I understand the simplicity of focusing on one area of each page and the impact that could have in search resultsbut that that doesn't entirely
