Sorry - I did not ask my question very clearly before.
When I look at the source code for my web pages the title appears as
<title> page title </title></
The h1 is header style and you can change this in your text if you don't like size of header but I think for titles that is good choice, hope this helps
You're misinterpreting the videos. A page title and an article title are two completely different things. Please see my answer in your other question at: Is my theme default for pagepost titles in h1 format?

I am sorry - I do know what <title> means - what I did not know was what the default format for <title> was in my wordpress theme. Thank you for your help!
Maureen
Apologies if my response came across as unnecessarily harsh. That was not my intent.
Since the <title> tag is contained in the <head> section of an HTML page, the text within that tag doesn't appear as part of your site's content. It doesn't (actually can't) have any format applied to it in any theme. Only items within the <body> portion of the page can have formatting applied to them.
Sorry Bob.
My major problem was that I could not identify if the page title was formatted in . Such an easy question and I could not find the answer. And my fall back of looking at the code did not help me at all. I can usually understand the code even if I don't program in that language, but apparently not html. I will have to go and learn html now so I can really understand what I am doing.
Thank you for your help,
Maureen
Sorry - I got the answer from sschmidt - thank you very much! - he said:
"Simplest way I use is to put your mouse over the text and right hand mouse button. On the menu select "Inspect Element".
This will bring up the code. You should have an H1 tag just before the text."
When I did that I gotWelcome!
which seems to answer the question - thank you!

Is <title> as good as in terms of seo?

Hi everyone! I would like to check that the default for page/post titles for the theme I have chosen (The Box) is in H1 format. Can someone tell me how to do that please? Tha
Loes
I cannot see that for some reason - when I go to customize your site I don't get typography. I must be looking in the wrong place - can you explain where that is please
thank you
Maureen
No not on mine - I will look for this option in the future. thank you so much for your help. Maureen

Thank you - I went back and did that again and looked at all the highlighted text -Welcome!
Sorry to bother everyone.
All good. You have a new tool in your kit now. :-) Inspect element allows you to do so much more. Slowly but surely, it will become your best friend.
You could type something else in H1 and compare it visually to the post title. It should be H1 for every theme as far as I know. ~Marion
Yes I would think so to. When I look at the source code for each page it uses the html tag <title> which is not H1. I guess I want to know if that is as good in terms of SEO as H1. Let me re-ask the question...
The HTML tag <title> provides the title of your web page, not the posts on that page. The <title> tag is required for your HTML to be valid and is contained within the <head> portion of the page. (The <title> tag has no H1, H2, etc associated with it.)
From w3schools.com:
"The <title> tag is required in all HTML documents and it defines the title of the document.
The <title> element:
defines a title in the browser toolbar
provides a title for the page when it is added to favorites
displays a title for the page in search-engine results"
