placing H1 tags around the existing title

    Ok I read that I need H1 tags for better search placement. So I read up on it and placed them in the header of the theme Im using. The problem is the tag appears on the top of the site. Which in essence is just a repeat of what I already have when I used the fill-in-the-blank heading in the “General” section of the theme.

    Is there a way to use the H1 tags wrapped around the main title that was already in place and if so how where would I put it. I was thinking the style sheet, since that lists the info for the main title, but being a novice I have no idea where to work it in.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • can you provide more info?

    link to your site?

    theme?

    are you clear about the difference between the <title> tag and the blog title?

    site: https://www.green4lifemagazine.com/

    Theme Name: Fresh Ink Magazine

    Current set up: </script><h1>Green4LifeMagazine</h1>
    <h2>Promoting a Green Life through projects, news and blogs</h2>
    <meta name=”description” content=”Projects, New and Blogs promoting a greener way of life” />
    <meta name=”keywords” content=”going green, green life, solar, wind, environment, economy, green, projects, news, blogs” />
    <meta name=”author” content=”DW Wood” />
    <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1″ /></head>

    I know when I do a test of the site with whois.domaintools it says it was missing the H1 so I just stuck it where I thought it should go.

    the current set up is definitvely not valid:

    all this:

    <h1>Green4LifeMagazine</h1>
<h2>Promoting a Green Life through projects, news and blogs</h2>

    is not alllowed where you put it;
    it needs to be further down in the template, after the <body> tag.

    (where it maybe already is:

    Which in essence is just a repeat of what I already have

    )

    here is a small intro into seo:

    maybe none-action is the best action.

    thanks I appreciate the help

    I see the body tag problem is (maybe not a problem) is it is listed as <body no closing > and there is no </body> anywhere on page

    this is the entire set up for the header page

    at the moment, your code has a h2 tag on the blog title:

    <div id="blogtitle"><h2 align="right">
    <?php bloginfo(\'name\'); ?></h2></div>

    if you consider to change this to a h1 tag, be aware that you might need to adapt (little or lots) of css styles in style.css of your theme, to keep the current apppearance.

    Thanks, I tried it and as you suggested I will have to alter the style.css file as the title disappears completely. But its a start and you got me pointed in the right direction, so I tinker from here.

    thanks again
