"Use <h1> for title"???

pls fix to "use H1 for top level heading".

"The title is generally duplicated in an <h1> element
towards the top of the page."

That's only for sort of "top level" pages.
For pages that are more part of a whole,
only the novel bit goes in the H1.

e.g. for a top-level page, they'd be the same:

  <html><head>
  <title>Great Recipies</title>
  </head><body>
  <h1>Great Recipies</h1>
	...
  </body><html>

but for a more "internal" page, the H1
only has the novel bit:

  <title>Peanut butter and Jelly, in the Great Recipies</title>

  ...

  <h1>Peanut butter and Jelly</h1>


Note that the ... should link into context; cf

Sigh... looks like a case of putting too much
information in the filename. I suggest a redirect
