<H1> tags, how important are they in your page?

how do i use CSS style(or like) to change <H1> size.style?

[jlyons1234]

hello,

I have heard it is important to have an <H1> tag in your keyword rich text in the top %25 of your page. How important is this?

If I do need to use a <H1> tag, I want the text to look like all the other text on the page (size 3,verinda). I use to know a way of changeing the <H1> to this text format. can someone help me out?

thanks

H1s are important. They should be used as a header though. Styling them to be normal kind of kills the point. Why not make them 4 or so.

H1 {
font : smaller Verdana;
}

I would add a bold or something, since it is important text.

Use the HTML validator at [validator.w3.org...] and tick the boxes for "Show Source", "Verbose Output", and especially for "Show Outline".

Scroll down past the list of errors (if there are any), to the section marked "Document Outline". If the result there does not look like an outline of your document then you are abusing the tags

Hi,

The document outline looks fine, but I am showing errors when I run my site with that site. Do I need to be concerned?

Clean up your code as best as you can. Who knows what problems those errors might cause in either browsers or search engines?

It's really easy to do even though it may look like alot of errors. Earlier today I was feeling nostalgiac and updated one of my old pages from HTML 4 transitional to XHTML 1 strict. I have 500+ errors on the initial validator parsing. But they were mostly the same errors. I only identified about 10-15 uniquie errors, the rest were simply repeats of those, so in reality it only took about 20 minutes to get things squared up. :)

I reckon that there are less than 20 errors that are really commonly found in HTML code.

I listed many of them, and the fix for each, in a forum posting just a few weeks ago.
