Good link for this thread Jason. Although I don’t understand why the company name would be inappropriate semantically to use as the h1 on the home page. The home page represents the company. If I Google for a company with it’s name as a keyword I would expect to find their home page. Using it on every page of the site is a different matter. For this to work the 'logo' would be text which would be styled with CSS to look like the logo in a browser. As an alternative I expect the alt text of an image would likely suffice (not so sure on this one). To put on my hat with horns to present a possible issue with my own suggestion; I would point out that using a different structure between pages of a site can be confusing for a screenreader user; But then, home pages often are a different structure to topic-specific sub pages anyway so I don’t expect anyone would get upset about it. I’ve been doing this for a few years now so if I’m wrong I’m keen to be corrected! … The defence for using two h1 elements in a page makes some sense to me from the same perspective that it makes sense to put the company name in every page title alongside the subject of the page eg: "[title]SEO and semantics - WSG blog[/title]". You have to draw the line somewhere though, as too much emphasis is no emphasis at all. Interesting discussion - thanks to those at WDS09 who introduced me to this group! -- Ollie Boermans @ollicle ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *******************************************************************
