Headings are a great way to format text into a style that’ll stand out. They also tell the search engines what the important content on the page is, for this reason they should be used with thought.
TIP: The Title of the Post or Page is a Heading 1 and having more than one is detrimental to SEO efforts. Heading 2’s should be used sparingly with 1 or 2 max per page or post. Use the others as desired.
Make a heading:
- Click to add a new “Block” (section) of content and choose HEADING.
- Format the heading as desired using the Heading Formatting Toolbar
- Choose to make all or part of the text Bold, Italic or a link to another website.
- Select the text you want to format and click the appropriate button.
- Format the Heading as desired using the Heading Block Settings on the right side of the screen.
- If you don’t see the Document and Block settings palette:
- Click in the top left corner
- Under Heading Settings, choose the Heading Level
- Under Text Alignment, choose your desired alignment
Depending on your websites theme, each Heading may have a different style and size applied.
