i am going to style it with css, but for text only browsers, would it be better to only have one h1 element so that it is bigger than all of the others?
@fredmvMay 16.2005 — #It makes sense to only have one h1 element anyway.[/QUOTE]Agreed, that is if you're using proper semantic markup (which everyone [i]should[/i] be).
@JDM71488authorMay 16.2005 — #i believe i am, now anyways... i used to design for graphical browsers, but now i try to write the page pretty much without style, and then style it... i am taking more time make sure that the page will still display correctly and in order as much as possible to those without style...

@jmaresca2005May 16.2005 — #who is to say you can not have <h> tags where you want them in your html. search engines like them, so why not try to code for that. this is not a dirty trick. it isnt keyword stacking or anything like that. after the title and description, header tags are most important. they like 1 at the beginning and one at the end. this technique is only doing what the search engines like, this is not attempt to fool a search engine in any way. and speaking of being semantically correct, who is to say my content can not look like this.
<h1> This is the title of the paragraph</h1>
<p>This is the content of the paragraph.</p>
<h5>this is the end of the paragraph.</h5>.
Not only is this great for SEO, it is not semantically incorrect. web knowledge goes far beyond HTML.
