Josh, thanks – I don’t remember seeing a comment from you before, so, welcome! I like what you’ve done with Tuscon Labs, I look forward to seeing what happens with it when you get those things “worked out”.

LaurenMarie – Thanks for that info and asking your husband. :) I’ve added that book to my wish list. :P
I had seen A List Apart on your site as an example of grid design. They also have so nice typography, don’t they? I hadn’t read their articles yet though. Looks like serif-fonts for headings are becoming a “thing”. I kind of like it, it used to be a no-no to mix serif and sans-serif, but heaps of people are doing it now – throw in some italics, it’s sweet!

On the H front – I guess the idea above was almost correct, but starting with page heading (blog title) as h1 then section heading as h2, sub-heading as h3. So the structure is the same as above, except it all comes under the blog title.

I think I will go with that – then I don’t have to edit my previous posts!

Should only have one H1 tag per page, it should be a page title. H2′s should be used as sub headers, and H3′s as sub sub headers. It’s really not that critical, but H tags do carry more SEO weight.

Almost forgot, it’s important to go in order on your page. So no H1>H3>H5. Should go in order H1>H2>H3>H2>H3 etc. I noticed on her page that she jumps from H1 to H3.

Does that help? I’m sure that 4 experts have 6 different opinions on what you “should” do, so just follow what seems most right to you after looking at everything!

Have you checked out A List Apart or Designing with Web Standards? You should find those very useful as to semantic markup. Let me see if I can get my husband over here to comment (or at least to tell me so I can come back and share his advice). He’s really good at all this stuff!

I think the best advice I can give you is to use the H1 for your site’s name. I usually use an image for this, so I put the name or relevant keywords in the alt text.

The default theme in wordpress makes heavy use of H2 tags. This isn’t something that I completely agree with for SEO purposes, but I’m no expert in that field. I usually make the page titles h2 tags and posts titles h3 tags. I also make the tag line an h3. This way you can add some static content titles for your index.php, category.php etc, with the very important h2 tags targeting your keywords.

I enjoy your blog and I hope this helps!

But I am glad that my understanding of how my blog works has increased since the day I ventured into the codes. I have gone from somebody who didn’t dare touch the PHP files to someone who dares do it for other people!
