The correct use of H tags such as
etc are extremely important in the overall optimisation of your site for your chosen search terms.
The general belief is that you should not jump tags throughout your page or post such as having an H1 followed by an H3 and then another H1. However, there seems to be no problems with the amount of times that you use a particular H tag.
I do advise though, in the overall interests of the SEO of your page that you use the H1 tag only once within your page or post.
A very quick example would be this
How To Optimize Your Page With H Tags
The text that goes with the H1 tag would go here
How To Use Bold And Strong Tags
The text that goes with your H2 tag goes here
When To Use I Tags Within Your Text
The text pertaining to the second H2 tag goes here
As you can see from the text above, there is Just 1
tag and 2 tags.
Now, as long as you do not jump tags you will easily remain within the guidelines. As far as anyone knows the H1 tag will "set the tone" for the whole of your article and should be used once at the beginning of your article.
Many Wordpress themes will actually incorporate this by automatically using the page title as an H1 Tag.

Hi There
I just wanted to ask if I already have as we all do my SEO title as my post headline is there no need to create an H1 after that in the editor or would we have both?

A while ago Google mentioned that they now treat the BOLD and STRONG tags pretty much the same with regards to SEO (http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/seo-answers-on-google-video/), though they are still different. In particular screen readers generally still understand the extra ephasis that a strong tag gives. Many programs like Wordpress default to Strong tags only. I dont know what other search engines do, but following the correct use of bold and strong would still be good practice.
