I've been recently discussing how to mark-up your logo in your code. I noticed the new refresh site is placing the logo in the <h1>. I was curious what the groups consensus on this topic was. Do you place your sites branding in the <h1> or in a <a class="logo"></a>? If you do place your logo in the <h1>, do you use multiple <h1> tags in a single document?
Not proclaiming that one way is better than another -- I think in the end, there are valid arguments on both sides and it comes down to personal preference and comfort level. Thoughts?
I've always (well, not always) marked up a site's logo/name in an <h1>. Back at The Olde Job, this was to help out the SEO team with getting our clients' name weighted. I still think it's a good idea, since the site your on is of some relevance.
As far as "single <h1> per page vs. multiple <h1>s per page," I've gone both ways. Even though I didn't do it on the Refresh site, having an <h1> for the logo and another <h1> for the page title proper seems perfectly acceptable to me. Eric Meyer wrote a really good post on the subject a while back. It's a matter of some controversy (as much as markup preferences can be a controversy, of course).
Personally, I wouldn't use more than two per page, but I say that if you're not outright abusing your headings, having multiple <h1>s is okay by me.
