Are you crazy?

I would replace for example this:

<div id="header">

Rustic Stone, Home Decor

and So Much More </p>
</div>

with

<div id="header"> <h1> Rustic Stone, Home Decor

and So Much More </h1>
</div>

It may be that me suddenly adding h1 to 700 different pages all at once caused google to think i was h1 stuffing or something, and that combined with all the other changes flagged me as a spammer

whatever it is, everything I do seams to be working opposite to how it is supposed to these days.
Do you expect that Google checks your changes instantly? Such changes require a while, until Google approves the, I know cases that they took several months.

I saw in this discussion that many here mentioned that valid code is important. Since when? I am surprised to hear that!!! Or did I misunderstand something?

I don't miss this article: http://xhtml.com/en/css/css-and-accessibility/

I will help you seriously in terms of SEO.
