As mentioned in this podcast, here is the layout you need when formatting text: (There were some limits formatting this, but it does appear on one of the blog posts above.)

• Blog Post Title (H1) [Only use H1 once per page!]

Introduction (Paragraph Text)

• Topic 1 (H2)

Text (Paragraph Text)

• Topic 2 (H2)

Text (Paragraph Text)

• Subtopic 1 (H3)

Text (Paragraph Text)

• Subtopic 2 (H3)

Text (Paragraph Text)

It’s ok to continue breaking up text with H4, H5, and even H6 headers if necessary. With especially long posts, the clearer the outline structure, the easier it is to read.
