17. Template tip #2
Your blog title and subtitle should only be <h1> and <h2> on
your front page! Everywhere else, and <h4> and <h5> is
good enough.
To do that, do something like this in your header.php:
<?php if (is_home()) { ?>
<h1>Yoast</h1>
<?php } else { ?>
<h4><a href="/">Yoast</a></h4>
<?php } ?>
18. Template tip #3
Add a description to your categories:
<?php echo category_description(); ?>
19. Yoast Breadcrumbs
Let users and spiders find the way home!
