H1 element used more than once per page — SEO issue?

    Hi there. Just noticed this with the theme. I notice that the site title uses the H1 element, and you also use H1 for each post/page’s title. So in effect you are using H1 twice on every page. From what i recall about SEO guidelines you are only to use 1xH1 element.

    For example, just now i checked Bing Search Guidelines and it specifically states this. I haven’t looked up the others.

    My guess then to resolve this would be for the site title to move to a lower heading level but maintaining H1 for page/post title only?

    Love to get your thoughts on this so i can update the theme code on my side.

    Thanks
    Kimberly

    ahh never mind…just realized this theme uses html 5,and thus, its semantic elements used in this case (header and article) help section off each h1 making it valid.
