Is there a way to have a h1 header on your website and not have it show up?

if add this line of code to the css file:
Code:
h1
{
display:  none;
}
Will it still be considered as a valid h1 tag to the Search Engines or will I get penalized because it is considered as hidden?

    You'll find yourself in trouble for hidden text. Avoid blackhat techniques if you value having your site listed on Google.

      What would be the best way for not having the h1 tag showing up on my site?

      I have a blog and I'm using a custom made header instead of the text title.

      Just do something like this, & have the keyword on-page.

      Change font size to whatever you need.

      Add the keyword in the first sentence on-page, then wrap the keyword with the <h1> tag.
      Ok , found a good spot to put it. thanks for the advice
