As mentioned in this podcast, here is the layout you need when formatting text: (There were some limits formatting this, but it does appear on one of the blog posts above.)
Blog Post Title (H1) [Only use H1 once per page!]Introduction (Paragraph Text)
Topic 1 (H2)
Topic 2 (H2)
Subtopic 1 (H3)
Subtopic 2 (H3)It’s ok to continue breaking up text with H4, H5, and even H6 headers if necessary. With especially long posts, the clearer the outline structure, the easier it is to read.
