      I generally use wordpress as a CMS and have the H1 tag coded in the header.php include file. This results as it being the same in all page - I normally do something like

      Keyword - Company name

      and set the company logo as the background and move the text off screen using text indent (CSS).

      Is having the same

      on every page a bad thing?

      I might be tricky to change so their all unique.

          Why not just have logo as logo with ALT on it and H1 where it should be - right above the content area?

            what about title? that certainly should not be the same.
            I can not see whythis would be so tricky are these pages static or dynamic? how many?

              Perhaps I'm over complecating it - how would you code the logo of each page? Background for a H tag, straight image or as a background for some other tag?

                True, I've also tried to be as semantic as possible with my code which is why I've used it as a background of a H1 (Your logo being the first heading).

                What do you guys use to display your logo - background of another tag or as a pure image?

                    I would use a div, thats what they are for, a H1 tells the SE what the page is about, and i would not move anything of screen, SE's see that as spaming
                    I only just re-read and see you are using wordpress, i know little about word press, i can only answer to how i do things.
                    I would use a strait image, so you can use the alt tag for SEO
                    I would make the title and h1 unique
                    I would not move any text off screen.

                      I would stop using the

                      tag for the header / compagny logo. This is definitely not the title of your page. Just use an tag with a proper alt attribute for your header logo.

                      You'll then be able to have one unique

                      tag on each of your page, where you'll be able to enter the real title of your page.

                        It's definitely worth it! Try changing it to surround page/post title, and keeping it as name/logo only on the homepage.

                          Yes that sounds better to me. What do you use for the co logo - a tag with a bg image or just a straight image?
