I've got a couple of questions about how some html tags are interpreted by the search engines. This isn't really Google specific, although they're the most important.
First, I like drop caps, and think they would look good in my photography articles. But to apply them, I need to throw a span around the first letter in the first word on the page. I've been making some improvements to a black and white Photoshop tutorial I wrote a while ago; I learned some new tricks, and managed to create an action set that complements the article. So, if I use a drop cap, does this turn "black and white" into "b lack and white?"
A span that's nested inside an h2 should be invisible, right? I want to make sections expandable and collapsible, with a + or - and use a class to make it red, bold, and with a thin outline. On the other hand, would it make more sense to try to put it outside the span? Maybe indent the h2 and then set "margin-top: -1em" on the toggle button that should wind up on the next line? Does it matter?
I realize content is still king, but the way it's packaged can make it more or less readable, especially as the content gets longer. |
