Headline tags start from H1 and go up to H6 in decreasing order of size. They play immense importance in your blog template optimization. Just as I earlier explained that a search engine robot reads your content just the way a human reads it. Headlines, bolded and highlighted texts draw attention. By default all blogger templates are designed such that the H1 tag is given to Homepage Main Title, H2 is given to Blog Description or Header dates, sidebar headers and H3 is assigned for post titles. Whilst the fact is that your Post titles are second most important part of your blog after the main title. Sidebar titles and Post description are peanuts in comparison to your post titles.
Its your post titles that ping search engines on an update and are indexed and crawled by search engine robots. In SEO the post title is referred as the KING whiles post content is referred as the QUEEN. So if the king is treated with H3 tag instead of H2 tag then I guess you must re-plan your Traffic campaign.
Changing Post Tiles Heading Tags In Blogger
To change post titles default H3 tag to H2 heading Tag then follow the steps below,
- Go To Blogger> Design > Edit HTML
- Backup your template
- Search for .post h3
- and replace it with .post h2 (keep replacing that for all occurrences of .post h2)
- Then search for,
<h3><data:title/></h3
and replace it with this,
<h2><data:title/></h2>
6. Save your template and Congratulations for the smart change! :>
In my next post I will discuss what heading tags you should use for headlines that you use inside the post body. I am sure this change will bring a positive change in your web Traffic inshAllah. Peace! :>

Yes, superb technique. Although I knew about the importance about h2 headings, i never thought that you can change post titles to h2.thanks for informing....
As a intermediate web designer, I use html5 and css3. Since I noticed how professional and proficient you are at programming websites, why not switch to those languages? The tags are much more semantic, and CSS3 allows for much more design, even if you are not that good with Photoshop (no worries there since you rock with Photoshop). Also use of tags like cite, abbr, should be used more for better SEO. Lastly, to decrease page size, and loading time, why not compress images, JavaScript, CSS, the HTML, and convert many of the images to code using css3 (the simple ones). Good job with your blog, and hope you have a even more successful future.

I surely respect the suggestion brother and indeed programming has its own fun and web designing on the other hand is all different in its own right. I have not yet started using HTML5 though use CSS3 seldomly.

I want to use h2 tags on blogger homepage and h1 tag on blogger item post. looks like mashable and techcrunch. how to do that
@Nalaka Prasad
Thats against SEO rules. H1 is a reserved tag for main Blog Title followed by H2 for post titles and h3 for sidebars.
MAshable uses the format I discussed in this comment. Hope this clarifies buddy.
checkout my testing blog. I got Mashable, Techcrunch [SEO] post title and Header title structure.(This is testing blog and not clear css)
I think my SEO post title structure better than your structure. try this, it will not break any SEO rules.now this structure use Lots of Popular Sites(techhamlet.com,mashable..etc)we can do this on blogger
