I'm confused about h eaders. and the content underneath them. If I do put content underneath the headers, should it be all on the same line or indented below?
Also, what is the advantage of having content with the headers?
Thanks
Also, what is the advantage of having content with the headers?The headers are like when you open a new chapter in a book and you see them big bold letters, which tells you what that chapter will be all about. The search engines look at a header much the same way and should be used when you can.
let's say for example that my header is:
A Tank of Gas at Shell: $27 and then I want to say
6 hours of family harmony, except during the sing-along)
I should put this " 6 hours of family harmony, except during the sing-along)
indented on the next line
What I'm asking too, is can I combine two headers into one header , like the example I just gave
I read your post. Well about your question...
The headers are bascily the Large type letters that are used for the *main subject* you will be writing about. They are mostly used for helping the search engines "spider" your site so they can use that information to list your site for indexing it. Basicly the "robots" spiders that check your site will use the words that describe your site(Headers) to help list your site in the search engines.
With good keyword density, headers, the use of keywords in italics, and bold, will help you in the search engines for overall good ranking/listing in the search engines. So, the keywords help your site to be listed well so that it can be found by people.
Also, the content that follows after the header discusses what the topic is about. And this is used with italic, bold, words to get the "robots" to see that yout site is specificly speaking about a certain type of topic and helps them to list you in the topic your discussing.
One last thing, at the top of your screen there is a "title bar" and this is used to help list you in the engines. Use this to help in the topic you are discussing. For example, if you were discussing "bananas" you could list this in the "title tag"(element) and then in the actual page you could list "Bananas" as the Header1 and then follow that with the discussion of bananas and use the keyword "banana" in italics, and in bold in the content that would follow.
**Your gonna have to read alot more as you can't just use italics and bold a bunch of times as these are used only a little to get the "spiders" to recognize the topic "keyword" or "keywords" as this helps if you want people to find your website.
Oh yeah, it helps to be specific when using your "title tag" element. But if you want you could add a little more to your title. Just don't make it too long and use your "meta tags" as these will help in some of the other search engines that use these to help list your site.(Meta tags are the tags that are in between the head and /head tags that list keywords in your webpage. Also, don't spam in this section or in your webpage. It is bad for your site since some engines will ignore your site because of too much spam.(listing some words over and over)
Here are 2 threads that will help explain alot.
Hope they help:)

If you are, it makes no difference if the content is placed underneath or side by side.
<h1>This is a Heading</h1><p>This is content</p>
Is exactly the same as
<h1>This is a Heading</h1>
<p>This is content</p>
Is exactly the same as
<h1>This is a Heading</h1>
<p>This is content</p>
etc etc
<h1>Heading</h1><p>paragraph</p>
is the same as
<h1>Heading</h1><p>paragraph</p>
Also, he is understandably confused. I couldn't figure out what people were talking about for a second.
header : the http request header that you never see displayed in the browser
head tag : the part of the page that includes the title, meta tags, style sheets, etc.
heading : the titles in your page that set off section headings from running text.
