Tip of the Day: Fixing Page Headings
The new design places Page Heading 鈥� the vital <h1> code that search engines value 鈥� in a gray bar just below the WSU logo in the header. In cases where the migration did not detect an <h1> heading on your page, it defaulted to the file name. To correct headings and titles, click the MultiEdit button and navigate to the parameters section. You can also get to the parameters by clicking the light bulb icon to check out the page. In most cases the Title and Page Heading should be the same thing, although title can be longer than the headline, if necessary.
