Community /Pin to ProfileBookmarkWhy use the <h1> tags then? Why not just use text? How yu would style it would depend on if you want all <h1> tags to be the same or just some of them. Are you on a PC or MAC? Either way get a good text editor and get rid of DW. It can make some simple things hard.
MNS I need to do alot of H1 tags being that search engines dont pick up meta tags anymore. They only pick up H1 tags. This is why They index all text, not just <h1> tags. If people stop messing with the search engines to get higher rankings the search engines will quit changing what they use as criteria. You can just use text and a search engine will index that. People have sorely abused meta tags and that is why they don't really work anymore.

In Dreamweaver, go to Edit, Find and Replace. Search for Source Code. Choose to search the page or the entire site. Enter the code you want to find. Enter the code to replace it with. Click Replace All.No your not understanding.....wat im saying if you go to my site and look at the header, you will say how it is spaced out and if I take away the H1 tag it will be fine. My questions is could i make my whole page h1 tags and have it all at default size of tahoma 2 and not all funny looking. Im not using CSS becuase there is some people that cannot view it You're using DW, right? Type out your content. Highlight everything. Choose your font & its size.
What's your URL? I looked at your site and still do not see the purpose of wanting to change all the text to <h1> tags and then reduce the size down s it looks like "normal" text. It will all get indexed anyways.

Pyro, you might want to add in zero margin and displaying it inline. It depends on what they want. I will agree that when you do use a <h1> tag it should be used for when you want the text to be big, bold, and seperate from the text around it. Look at a newspaper and only things like headlines would use the <h1> tag. You're quite possibly correct, depending on their needs. By their desire to set it to represent normal text (though I don't personally agree with it), it might seem like they would want to use it inline with the rest of their text.

H1 Tags
Ok here is the thing. Im using Dreamweaver MX, and I would like to make some H1 tags appear to be the same size as the rest of my site. I know i can manually change these but if you look at my home page it looks funny for the title. I know I can use CSS but its kinda hard with Dreamweaver and was wondering if someone could walk me through it.

@Aronya1Sep 21.2003 — #[i]Originally posted by Baby Jai [/i]What does "same size as the rest of my site" mean? Unless you're using CSS to change the properties of various <h1> tags, they will all be the same.

@pyroSep 21.2003 — #I think we all need to look at what <h1> tags are. They are just "big text". When we realize that content is supposed to be separated from layout, we will realize that our markup should be logical. A <h1> tag is used to define your main heading. Likewise a <h2> is a subheading, and so forth. So, we see it really doesn't matter what size we set our <h1> tags to, though I'd think we would normally want them larger than the rest of the text on our pages. So, to answer the question, this bit of CSS should be added:<style type="text/css">
h1 {
font-size: 100%; /*set font size to the same size as other text*/
font-weight: normal; /*set font-weight to normal (not bold)*/
}
</style>reply?
