Page is a not externally linkable

Just thought that one should be repeated. Class post :) :) :) If your webpage was a book, the <title> would be outside on the cover and the <h1> would be the same thing repeated inside the book (perhaps including a subtitle). Then, for each major section of the book you would have a <h2>, and for each chapter a <h3>, and so on... On the lowest level, each page would have a page number. That would be your <div> tags. But even within the page you could have different kinds of content. That's what the <p>, <span>, <table>, <img> tags and so on is for. -- [edited by: claus at 1:58 pm (utc) on Aug. 21, 2005]
The "M" in HTML is the big deal - we START with a document -- that is, with content -- and then we "mark it up" for the web (thatr means for any number of potential user agents.)
I used to design print ads, so I was very focused on grabbing the eyeballs. That seemed especially important when you're buying 1/4 of a page that is otherwise filled with distractions. The thing I wasn't getting about the web is that once someone has your site on their monitor, then at least for the moment, you have no one competing for those eyeballs. So giving your visitors the content they came for, rather than some eye candy, makes a big difference in business success.
H1 is the headline, or title of your page. Titles and headlines are not always the same, but they are mostly very close.
It is often very helpful to think of each individual page, and the site as a whole, as being a book - for very large sites, think libraries in stead (imho, fwiw, etc.)
