Heading Tags

The use and order of heading tags is very important for accessibility and indexing by search engines. The page title should be an <h1> and then sub-section of the page follow in order like a grade-school book report outline.

Here is an example going all the way to an h5 using apples and pears. You can imagine the <h1> would be the tile, something like “My Thoughts on Apples and Pears.” Note: This page is hosted in Google sites which only supports h1 - h3, the source code does not match the examples. 

Apples <h2>

Apples are great! I would eat them all year round if I could. I like to eat them raw and in pies and tarts, let me tell you about two of my favorites.
(First subsection so it is an h2)

Haralson <h3>

For many decades, Haralson has been the number one apple in Minnesota, leading in number of trees planted and in production of apples. It was introduced in 1922 by the University of Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station. The original Haralson, which we still grow and love, is striped red with greenish-yellow undercolor.(Subsection of the h2 apples so it is an h3)

Baking with Haralson <h4>

I haven’t made an apple tart yet, but I have made many pies and Dutch pancakes. I love baking with Haralson apples.

Storing Haralson <h4>

Boxed apples need to be kept in a cool, dark spot where they won’t freeze. Freezing ruptures all of an apple’s cells, turning it into one large bruise overnight. The usual solution is to store apples in a root cellar.(Also a subsection of the h3 Haralson so it is an h4, baking and storing are at the same level)

Honeycrisp <h3>

There are certain characteristics that make Honeycrisp remarkable among apples. It has a first-of-its-kind crispness that no previous apple has ever possessed, its juiciness is unsurpassed, and it can be held for an unusually long period of time, compared to other apple varieties, in prime condition.

Pears <h2>

A pear is a pomaceous fruit produced by a tree of genus Pyrus. The English word pear is probably from Common West Germanic pera, probably a loanword of Vulgar Latin pira, the plural of pirum, which is itself of unknown origin.
