 * I am not a coder, and need some help please.
 * Bascially, I am looking for a code to stick in my header.php that would:
 * on the home page, show the site name as the heading;
    on the category page, show
   the category name as the heading, and on single posts page, show the title of
   the post as the heading
 * with all these headings wrapped in h1 tags.
 * Can the experts here help?
 * Thanks
 * Swaminathan
