Compass looking for the right heading

Heading structures

Not only for search engine purposes a semantic correct heading structure is important.
Screen reader users depend on correct headings to list content.
Faked headings done with bold style and larger font destroy styling when changes are made and leave the site with inconsistent look and feel.

Too alarming now to talk about

Take your pictures down and shake it out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around

There goes my hero

Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

Don't the best of them bleed it out

While the rest of them peter out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes

There goes my hero

He's ordinary

Kudos, my hero

Leaving all the mess
You know my hero
The one that's on

There goes my hero

Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero

He's ordinary

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
