Headline Banners
In some of the themes you will see a HTML code kinda like this one (from the "Tech Blue Theme:"
<!-- SAMPLE BOARD LOCATION - CHANGE URL TO YOUR BOARDS LOCATION -->
<div id="community">
<a href="http://www.runboard.com/bnewtechblue">
<!-- SAMPLE BANNER -->
<img src="http://www.rbbt.net/skins/PR/techblue/samplebanner.jpg" alt="" /></a>
</div>
This code is perfectly fine but what if you want to help your chances in the search engines like Bing or perhaps Google?

Re: Headline Banners
One trick is to place your banner graphic inside of a h1 tage in your HTML so the search engine sees it as a major headline (ie: the h1 tag).
This would give you HTML coding similar to this:
<!-- LOGO & TITLE SECTION //-->
<h1>
<a href="http://bmyboard.runboard.com/">
<img src="http://mybannerurl.jpg" title="my board name" alt="my board name" />
</a>
</h1>
The href is your boards url
The img src is the url to your boards banner/logo
title and alt are your boards actual name.
Now you should have a simple line of code in your CSS to display you new "headline/community logo" with the proper justification like so:
h1 {
text-align: center;
}
The code shown above centers your "headline" graphic with the message board but you could also use "left" or "right" if you prefer.

Re: Headline Banners
That's it, it does not guarantee a better placement in the search engines but it does help "load the dice" in your favor.
