No-one has said there is anything wrong with including a tagline on every page.
It is a bad idea however if you make it a H1 and then have that repeat on every page. Do you include a second H1 on the page too? No? When you add a background image to a H1 - you may style it to look like an image/logo but the source code only shows a heading. If the text in the heading is still visible to your visitors and you dont use this on multiple pages (i.e. only on the homepage) then this is fine. If however you have an <img> and wrap it with a H1 then that makes no sense at all no matter what cutlery you are ;) Darren Lovelock Munky Online Web Design http://www.munkyonline.co.uk T: +44 (0)20-8816-8893 -----Original Message----- From: li...@webstandardsgroup.org [mailto:li...@webstandardsgroup.org] On Behalf Of tee Sent: 19 October 2009 18:50 To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: Re: [WSG] Re: More than one H1?

Quite a number of my clients have taglines in their logos, and often times, the tagline is part of the keywords they wanted to target. I see this an compelling reason to wrap the logo in a h1. I almost never use logo in inline image but background. If client wants to place a logo in the footer, then yes, this one uses inline image. <h1>Fresh & Green: Fresh ideas for green living</h1> h1 {background: url(logo.png) no-repeat} Also, for an eCommerce site, the first heading (if H1 is not used in logo) usually is category name, product name (*), my cart, sitemap. * Product name is most important compare with category name, name cart, sitemap, about us, contact us....I can serve a different template to use H1 for product name . As for other pages, to my clients, their taglines are more importance than category names such as "outdoor", "indoor", "gift ideas", "about us". None of the replies that against using h1 for logo can convince me nor my clients that having company name and tagline on every page is illegal, wrong, unsemantical. There are chopsticks users, there are fork and spoon users and they are hand users. I am a chopstick user and you a fork and spoon user and who are we to say that the hand user is illegal and wrong? I eat with my right hand when I visit India and Nepal and when I eat with my muslim friends. And I use fork and spoon when I am with friends who use only this combination or visit non- Asian restaurant. tee ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *******************************************************************
