h2 or p as website title inside posts

[xandor]

Question is related to my earlier thread, but want to focus on this question so made a new thread.

Should I use <h2> or <p> for my website name when inside a post (changed so post is now h1 instead of website name being h1).

I read on a blog post, from 2010 that described how to change the tags, that h2 should be used. They didnt state why or anything like that.

It is possible that it is negative for various reasons, 2 I can come up with (but dunno if they are true):
h2 tag above h1 tag, might be bad.
Might ruin the SEO for the post's keywords.


Also would appreciate if someone explained how to change the title to look like zDark's theme title normally does.
I think it looks very good, but it got messed up and I dont know how it is specified.
I guess it is somewhere in style.css.
Think it is related to:
<div id="header">
<div id="header-title">

are you trying to apply on page seo on blogger or wp or plain html site?

What's your site? Use H1 for the index title, H2 for post titles and <p> for paragraphs in your posts.

On a wordpress site.
My website is kinda secret now (especially since it made 120$ today :D)

Do I really have to use <p> in posts in wordpress?
Right now I dont write much text in each post (30-40 words outside of headings), and just bold the keywords that isnt in headings.

wow gratze...lemme put it this way..if you wysiwyg editor and keep on hitting enter every time youfinish up with a paragraph it auto generates the <p> tag...so even if if manually dont use the p tag..chances are that its there..

I am using the HTML tab on the new posts.
Dont think it generate paragraphs, is it bad?
