Thanks. That jives with what I was thinking and the reason for the
post. I have seen similar in other template systems as well. What
seems to happen in some instances is that when you mix and match modules
and various template sources you sometimes run into this compounded
effect. Fortunately it's fairly easy to resolve.
Just to be sure about the SEO benefits I googled "seo h1 per page" and
numerous results support one per page. One even suggested that an
example with three was approaching spam - the dealkiller.
