      Hey everybody!

      So I was wondering what the difference between the H tags and "H Style". My first thought is that it's just the style guide, and not actually a meta tag, but before I go around changing all these styles I want to make sure my computer isn't going to explode SEO juice.

      Thanks!

        Hi

        can you share an example of where you are seeing the H style tag? Sounds to me like it's a standard inline CSS style attribute on a H tag but I could be wrong?

        thanks

          Yes, the question is a bit unclear. H tags (which are not meta elements) are used in the body of your page to indicate headings of sections, with h1 being the most important. Usually the style of the h tag is defined in the CSS, but sometimes people do use inline styles like this: <h1 style="color:red; text-align:center;">Centered red text</h1>.

          This is still an h1 tag, and the text will be red and centered. If you want to change the style, for example <h1 style="color:blue; text-align:left;">Left-aligned blue text</h1>, you will not affect the SEO of the page, only the appearance. Search engines do pay attention to h tags (particularly h1) so you will want to keep that, even if you edit the style.

            Ahh, got it. I think you both answered my question, I will post an example to confirm though.

            Inpatient

            In the most basic terms Inpatient means residential treatment. In other words, if you think the individual needs to be in a safe, structured environment for a period of time, then inpatient drug rehab is the way to go. This can be for a short, medium, or long-term period of time. Like the length of time - the focus of the treatment may also vary.

            Lengths of Inpatient Care

            So, is that the same as an

            ?

              Yes. That's a standard H1 tag.

                Yes, in your example Inpatient is inside the h1.

                  Thanks guys! Just wanted to clarify if that was actually an H1, or just an H1 styling thing to be viewed as "make this look like H1, but it isn't actually H1".
