Can't find an answer in Joomla Forum.

I am using an image as my header with a special font and also an image. What I am looking for is advice on if it is ok to put one H1 tag in the footer instead of the header. Removed Site Title option from the template.

Will this still create the SEO that tells search engines that the Site Title/H1 tag is the one in the footer across all pages?

I did this by creating a Custom HTML Module and putting it in the Postision 27 of an Artisteer template.

Can you say what you do do for headline/slogan. I'm going nuts here with H1 "stuffing". Where is the best place to edit this and change to <p>? I'm in index.php but don't see the h1, and in css i don't see it as h1. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Quote Ian Shere:

It's a bad move. You'll have the same H1 on every page - that's plain bad SEO. I don't know why Artisteer did it with the 2 header elements - quite obvious they either knew nothing, or though nothing, about SEO.

I have never use the site title or slogan for that reason. H tags belong (primarily) in the body of the page ad they're unique to each page.

You can try this. It changes the <h1> tag to <h3> tag for art-headline.
Insert at bottom of page in the footer.

<script type="text/javascript">
$('h1').each(function(i, em) {
$(em).replaceWith('<h3 class="art-headline">'+$(em).html()+'<\/h3>');
});
</script>

You can also remove the art-headline and it should take the formatting of the <h3>

<script type="text/javascript">
$('h1').each(function(i, em) {
$(em).replaceWith('<h3>'+$(em).html()+'<\/h3>');
});
</script>
