| Adding Headline Tags to Your Joomla Site |

This week has been SEO week here at Alledia, so Friday afternoon must be time for another tip. This one is deceptively simple and comes courtesy of Veloniue Petros over at http://velonis.gr. Over at the Joomla! forum he posted a deceptively simple solution to Joomlas lack of <h2> and <h3> headings. Google automatically thinks that it you have text wrapped up in headline tags then it must contain more important clues to your page contents than whatever appears in lowly paragraph tags <p>. Unfortunately, Joomla! comes out-of-the-box with headings that are wrapped up in things such as <td class="contentheading">. By changing a few lines in the content component, Veloniue has come up with an easy solution which allows you to present your headlines in <h2> or <h3> tags. All the better for Search Engine Optimization. Comments (1)

On some sites, I have been doing this an even more simple way, without any hack : just set Joomla to Not display article titles, then type the title at the top of your article and set it to h1. In jce, for instance, you have a drop down list of styles, and it is there to be picked up !
