H1

[Jol]

Hello!

Does anyone know how to change the category headings to H1 instead of pageHeading?

[Guest]

Jol,

 

Change it from this:

 

<td class="pageHeading"><?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?></td>

 

 

to something like this:

 

<td><h1><?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?></h1></td>

Are you doing this for supposed SEO results? Whether H1 text helps or not is a subject of great debate. http://searchengineland.com/36-seo-myths-that-wont-die-but-need-to-40076 . If you were writing a site from scratch, and had a choice of using H1 tags or not, you might choose to use them. But it's probably a waste of time to rewrite a site like osC to output H1 tags where there weren't any. If you're convinced that H1 will help, consider adding them, but use CSS to control the appearance.

 

Google, et al., revise their algorithms all the time. Even if they did use to weight H1's more heavily, they might not still do so. Frantically adding H1 tags according to old SEO lore is probably a waste of time.

That's good to know Phil. I know that there are many contributions available here that emphasize the H1 tag for SEO improvement.

In which file do I need to change this? I guess it is in the index.php file, but which one. The index.php file directly in the root or?

 

 

Jol,

 

Change it from this:

 

<td class="pageHeading"><?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?></td>

 

 

to something like this:

 

<td><h1><?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?></h1></td>
