Hi Warriors.

I am using thesis theme for my niche sites and I doing a SEO analysis and realized that the first page of my site does not use H1 tag but rather H2.
I went through few of my pages and they are all the same. Every other page on the site uses H1 though, it is only the very first page.

So the questions that follows:

*What are the reasons?
*Since thesis theme is a SEO optimizer, WHY have they decided on this rule?
*How can I change this?

Thank you

    Check the div id name of the h2 tag. Then change the h2 tag to h1. Afterthat write the following CSS rule in style sheet.

    #idname h1 {
    font-size: 14px;
    }

    You can write any size of the font you want.

    You could hack your index.php (Appearance > editor > index.php) to convert your post title to an h1 and your site title to h2, but if you are not comfortable with editing php scripts, you may want to try this:

    As a workaround, include the keyword phrase you are targeting the sticky page for as the "Blog Tagline" under "Settings > General" and make sure that in the Thesis 'Display Options', that "Show site name in header" is unchecked and "Show site tagline in header" *is* checked

      Scott, would your seo plug in also achieve this or would it not work with that theme?

    Here's a way you can do it on the page directly for example a one time thing.

    <h1 style="font-size:14px"> test </ h1>

    you don't really need a h2 tag on your homepage. I guess all the POST NAMES are h2 on the homepage. Its not a good practice to use more than one h1 tags on a page. That's the reason why you can actually see h1 only in the individual posts but not on homepage, achieve pages etc
