If its a small site and your page titles are things like 'About Us' (and other favourites) then SEO wise you are better off putting the site name/company name in the h1. If it's a blog then you want the article titles in the h1 and nice readable url. Rob
I you'd listen to screen reader... (I use JAWS), you could se the diference in expirience.... I still claim it is absolutly better, if it's headeing... let it be text. Screen reader otherwise reads it "heading one. image graphics. Company logo" ... it is much much more nicer if it says "heading one. Company name dash online computer store" image graphics bla bla... and than you also need to point out with alt text that the image graphic is "Somecompanyname logo"... I prefer the text in headings. ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
