  Ok, these are stupid, but I’m finding them useful (because the fewer keystrokes, the happier I am).

  
?2 : h2
?3 : h3
?4 : h4


  On a well marked-up blog page, these will usually help you quickly narrow down the search to just article headlines, skipping sub-headlines and sidebars. Not perfect, but a quick solution for new pages you probably won’t be back to.

  This is really useful. I added ?1 for h1 as well as quite a few blogs unfortunately do make use of h1’s for post headings.
