			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Custom Header Tag for WordPress" href="http://www.tristarwebdesign.co.uk/2009/11/custom-header-tag-for-wordpress/"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-157" title="custom wordpress header tag" src="http://www.tristarwebdesign.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/wordpress-logo-150x150.png" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>As brilliant as I think WordPress is I do feel that there are a few  features that do need to be addressed. One of the big areas of SEO that I  feel WordPress lacks is the simple ability to use custom H tags (H1, H2  etc&#8230;), I&#8217;m hoping that this might be addressed in the new 3.0 version of WordPress soon to be released.</p>
<p>The H1 tag is arguably a very big part of SEO when it comes to  inserting keywords into a web page so surely it makes sense to be able  to choose what the tag itself says.</p>
<p>With the help of the custom fields however there is an easy way:</p>
<p>Find: (in your page.php for example)</p>
<pre class="php"><span class="htmlOtherTag">&lt;h1&gt;</span><span class="phpScriptTag"><span class="phpOperator">&lt;</span><span class="phpOperator">?</span>php</span><span class="htmlText"> the_title</span><span class="phpOperator">(</span><span class="phpOperator">)</span><span class="phpText">;</span> <span class="phpScriptTag"><span class="phpOperator">?</span><span class="phpOperator">&gt;</span></span><span class="htmlOtherTag">&lt;/h1&gt;</span></pre>
<p>And replace with:<strong></strong></p>
<pre class="php"><span class="htmlOtherTag">&lt;h1&gt;</span><span class="phpScriptTag"><span class="phpOperator">&lt;</span><span class="phpOperator">?</span>php</span> <span class="phpScriptVar">$this</span><span class="htmlText">Post </span><span class="phpOperator">=</span> $post <span class="phpOperator">-<span class="phpOperator">&gt;</span></span><span class="htmlText"> ID</span><span class="phpText">;</span><span class="phpKeyword"> if </span> <span class="phpOperator">(</span><span class="htmlText">get_post_meta</span><span class="phpOperator">(</span><span class="phpScriptVar">$this</span>Post, changeH1,<span class="phpKeyword"> true<span class="phpOperator">)</span></span> <span class="phpOperator">!</span><span class="phpOperator">=</span><span class="htmlText">null</span><span class="phpOperator">)</span>
<span class="phpOperator">{</span> <span class="phpFunction">echo</span> <span class="phpOperator">(</span><span class="htmlText">get_post_meta</span><span class="phpOperator">(</span><span class="phpScriptVar">$this</span>Post, changeH1,<span class="phpKeyword"> true<span class="phpOperator">)</span></span><span class="phpOperator">)</span><span class="phpText">;</span> <span class="phpOperator">}</span>
<span class="phpKeyword">
else </span><span class="phpOperator">{</span><span class="htmlText"> the_title</span><span class="phpOperator">(</span><span class="phpOperator">)</span><span class="phpText">;</span> <span class="phpOperator">}</span>
<span class="phpScriptTag"><span class="phpOperator">?</span><span class="phpOperator">&gt;</span></span><span class="htmlOtherTag">&lt;/h1&gt;</span></pre>
<p>Next open up the page where you would like the custom header and in  the &#8216;Custom Fields&#8217; section enter the following details:</p>
<p><strong>Name</strong>: changeH1<br />
<strong>Value</strong>: Whatever you want!</p>
<p>Et voilà, you can now have any H1 that you need. This is very useful  for SEO reasons &#8230; Trust me!</p>
