 * Hi,
 * For SEO purposes I’ve been using the same headline as I insert in the field above
   the permalink data in the very first line of the post.
 * I also <h1> it again, for SEO purposes.
 * This has been causing problems making the headline within the post all scrunched
   up. It either does that at the top centered of the page, or off to the right 
   centered.
 * A couple of people are telling me this is b/c I have the headline twice, but 
   I’m confused how to solve this problem. I need to work on the SEO of each post/
   page, right?
 * Thanks
 * Michelle

 * Why are you doing this twice? Your headline that is inserted as the title is 
   assigned as an <h1> I believe, so no sense in replicating….

 * Sorry for the delay.
 * You sure? Someone told me a few years ago that field was only so you would know
   what the post was about, that it didn’t count as the real headline that the spiders
   see.
 * If it is, then fine, I’ll only use that from now on.
 * Thank you

    P.S. Sweeper, I hope you understand now.
