Wordpress and H1 tags

Hi,

I keep hearing that using keyword rich H1 tags is good for seo but how do you do this in wordpress?

For example, when I look at the source code for my homepage I can only see H2 tags for the post titles.

Also I am trying to optimise my homepage for a particular keyword, but when I look at the homepage the header is not optimised to that keyword, is this because the first post on the homepage does not include the keyword.

Would this mean that everytime I make a post I have to include the keyword so that the home page header remains optimised?

I appreciate any advice that can be offered in advance

regards

Chris

    To add an H1 tag enter your text, highlight it and select Heading 1 from the format menu. I assume you mean title when you say header. You'll need to add one of the SEO plugins (in most cases your theme won't have a SEO plugin) like All in One SEO or Headspace 2. Once that's added you can add an optimized page title as well as a description.

    Note that some themes make adding an H1 tag a bit annoying as they take your post or page title and turn that into the H1. You'll need to add a short bit of code to your style.css file. It's a bit different for different themes. Just ask your theme support forum how to suppress the post title from being the title on the page itself.

    This is almost entirely up to the theme you're using. There are some plugins that try to change this with mixed results but it's best to modify this in the theme source code.
