      I am hearing all about the benefits of H tags and I tried to use them in my wordpress blog. The way I did, I used the paragraph drop down and made the selected text h1 or h2 , but size of these tags are huge . Can you help me what is the trick?

      Also, Can I have more than one H2 tag. For example my article title seems to be H1 by default(by the wordpress) then can I make just my subtitles in the body of the article H2. Then I will have for example 5 H2 sentences spreaded all over the body.

      Thanks

        Hi Armin,

        1. H tags can have different fonts and sizes and this is usually controlled with the CSS on your Wordpress site. If you are not familiar with CSS, you might have two options. Higher end Wordpress themes, give you the ability to easily customize your font sizes in headings, body text, menus etc. If this is not available, being Wordpress is known to have a plugin for pretty much everything, you can try out the many font customization plugins to see which gives you the option to change heading sizes.

        2. Generally have only one H1 heading, as a page title, and then you can have multiple H2-5 tags

        Hope this helps!

          Hello Armin,

          You should use only one H1 tag on your page, the recommendation is include on it the page title (title tag).

          Also you can use other H2 and H3 etc, no limitations but you should care about keyword dilusion and care about not sound as keyword spammer.

          Actually I'm using one H1 identical to my title tag, and two or three H2's

          Hope it help

          Claudio

            Hi Vadim,

            Thanks for your response. Do you know any plugins that can do that for me. I have very minimum knowledge of wordpress and I had quick look at plugins. But there are tons of them with so many technicality.

            Thanks

              Sure this should be really easy to get going, you can start with this:

                Thanks a lot for your help. I set and it is great. I have another question I hope you do not mind.

                As you know there is a title field when you make a new article. Do I need to treat it as the H1 tag. And then in the body of my article add h2,3,4,5,. Or I should enter H1 in the body of my article as well. To test I entered a H1 tag in the body of my article and went to the page source this is what I got:

                Word press title is shown as :

                How to Be the Man Girls Die for

                The H1 tag in the body which I added:

                Being wanted

                Can you tell me if I need to add H1 in the body again or the one produced by wordpress is enough and I should start with H2,3,4,..

                Thank you so very much.

                  The first H1 is fine, (only one H1 on the body is allowed), when I refer to the title I was talking about the <title>tag, make sure your <title> tag on the <header> of the page is identical to your H1.</p> <p>Also I recommend to add as H2 subtitles with variants of the H1.</p> <p>When you finish, you can show me one page to let me test it.</p> <p>Hope it help</p> <p>Claudio</p></title>

                        Dear Armin,

                        I see your page, which has an error you has two H1 tags, the first is:

                        class="blog-title">Blog

                        (it should be an error of the plug-in and the second is fine:

                        class="entry-title">How Persian Girls Can Attract Men They Like

                        , the image Persian-girls-12-300x200.jpg (your image post, includes the ALT value correct, I suggest to include the TITLE tag with the same value of the ALT tag (the ALT tag is for search engines and the TITLE is for visitors) and both should see the same.

                        Please make the changes and let me know

                        Claudio

                          Hi Calaudio,

                          I am looking for a way to eliminate the extra H1. But about the photo, I enter all the information including the title but I do not know why it does not appear. Please have a look at the attached photo.

                          Thanks,

                          Armin

                            Hi Claudia,

                            The first H1 one is for the blog and the second one is for the article. It seems to be right because if you go to the blog main page there are many H1. One for the blog page and then one for each article. Please let me know your thoughts.

                            Thanks

                            Armin
