Headings: modified or the default settings ??

    Hello all, as the thread's title says, I have a question about "h" elements (i.e. headings), in particular about font-size); you see, it's that I would like to have my website: Tadej's computing homepage semantically correct, however <h1> and also <h2> are just to big in my opinion at the default settings.


    So do you suggest me to stop worrying and just modify the default font-sizes property (or any other one for that matter) of the headings with CSS by modifying selector's properties, or is this considered as something that generally shouldn't be done?! Although I must confess that now that I think about it, I am not so sure anymore why I thought that maybe this isn't recommended (and only for the headings), but I am aksing it anyway, just to be 100% sure.


    thanks in advance, tayiper

    There are two issues. The structure is defined by the html markup. It should correctly describe the document structure, so use the appropriate header levels. The presentation is controlled by the css. You may present those headers in any way you wish. It would suggest a poor structure should you wish to make lower level headers more prominent than higher levels, but you can. Any of the properties of the headers may be modified in any way.

    cheers,
