  I am trying to use the H1 tag on my post heading and when I highlight the heading and click on the H1 tab in the dropdown menu it causes the intire article to enlarge. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Why would you be using an H1 tag which is for the Site Title in a blog post?

  The H1 tag is the most important heading because it’s the highest level tag that shows what your whole site is about. Search engines give this tag more weight than any other headings. The rule of thumb for good SEO is one H1 heading per page. Your site title appears on every page ion your blog. My advice is do not play with Heading until you are clear on how to use them.

  oops! That open strong tag was accidental. I’m sorry if it seems like I’m yelling.

  Yes I’m sorry but the address of the blog in question is http://www. heartburnremedyzone.co. It is a new site I’m building and wasn’t in the list of sites for me to choose from.
