Tony, while i can see your point, i dont agree. Nothing against your views but its the way you put a few things.
A search engine will not just search the by the H1, actually no-one actually knows how a search engine works, its a secret to the creator, but what we do know is that they make use of all H* elements not just H1. The part that struck me is where you said: 'for a while I put all the branding and footer information at the end of the source and then visually displayed it at the head.' What about people with devices and browser with css either not supported or off? Source Order is very important. Views are views, and a great debate consists of a difference of views. : ) On 6/27/07, Tony Crockford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

SEO and semantics are tricky areas, I doubt we'd ever reach consensus, but my view of the web is as a collection of connected pages, rather than web sites as books with pages as chapters. (and it's how the search engines see the web too, in the most part) on that basis the page content is the most important and therefore the semantic structure should follow content, not the "book cover". my 2p. ;) ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
