The H1 debate
February 2nd, 2009. Published under General. No Comments.
Paul Randall had some discussions on Twitter last week about where on a page you should use an h1 tag. There are 2 possible options. Either as the sites name for instance <h1>Acme labs</h1> or as the main heading <h1>About page</h1>.
This lead to Paul getting into a bigger discussion and finally approaching me (after our awesome collaboration on the design of FootyTweets) to help develop a site to integrate the Twitter discussion.
The site idea came at about 6:30pm yesterday (2nd Feb 2009) and was finished at 10:30pm ish the same day.
H1debate.com integrated Twitter hashtags and the Twitter Search API to create a voting system so there can finally be an outcome and settly once and for all the correct use of the <h1>.
