On-Page Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

[dime]

Maybe here should be reported some things that could make more SEO friendly pages.

So here are first, which were already reported here.

Header — When looking collection or album, there is h1 header on top which always show gallery name (if it is entered in admin area; if not, it is empty). There should exist h2 tag with name of collection/album because it adds great value for SE. This should be like h2 when looking single picture page — above picture there is heading h2#picture caption.

Album descriptions — Album description only appears on collection's list and not on single album page. It should be optional where to appear. For me, it's much worth to appear only on album pages. It would have much worth to visitor and for SE too. For SE because albums should be major landing pages from SE, and it adds content that is related to album. Also, someone can search for something and get on collection page, but find difficult to find this text if collection has a lot of albums.

Links to album/collection from parrent level — In Lucid theme when viewing collection, there is no link on album name which appear left of album's thumbnail, like in Air theme. It should be fixed.
