Changing the Font & Style of Your H1 Tags

QUESTION: (Rhonda) I am having problems changing the font size of my H1text. Is this very important? If so, how do I go about changing it?

Changing the text and/or style of an H1 tag is simple in CSS.  It does not affect anything other than how the visitor sees it though (i.e., if you use a large font, it means nothing more than a smaller font, in SEO terms or how Google sees it).

You can change the H1 tag locally or in the CSS definition file.

If you want to change all of the H1 tag settings in your entire website, you would do this in the CSS file:

h1 {
font-size: 24px;
}

You would use the h1 tag as you normally would:
<h1>This is my H1 tag</h1>

You can define a class in the CSS file which allows you to define your new style whenever you wish anywhere on the site:

.h1style {
font-size: 24px;
}

You would add this class to your h1 tag, when you wish it:

<h1 class=”h1style”>This is my H1 Tag</h1>

* Remember to add the “.” when defining it in the CSS to classify it as a class.

Finally, you can do it locally using a style attribute (without the CSS file):

<h1 style=”font-size:24px;”>This is my H1 Tag</h1>

All of the above do the exact same thing.  Their use is based on how often you use the style and how you want it defined (whether globally or locally).

Also, remember you can add other styles to the same definition (like color):

<h1 style=”font-size:24px; color:red;”>This is my H1 Tag that is Red and 24px high</h1>

I find that being able to change the styles of my text for header and other standard tags to be quite invaluable!  Knowing a little bit of CSS can go a long way.  Give this a try!

The easiest thing to try first is the local definition using the style attribute. If this is working for you, consider creating or editing your own CSS file!

Good luck!  cheers…matt

Who is Behind Marketing Mind?

Matthew Bredel begin_of_the_skype_highlighting     end_of_the_skype_highlightingMy name is Matthew Bredel and as of March, 2007, I am a full-time, work-at-home internet marketer. For close to 10 years, I worked for a defense company which was an OK job, but I was so uninspired in life and frankly, I needed some more money. That is when I first discovered internet marketing! Now I admit that I didn't start making thousands in my first couple of months (in fact, I lost my shirt!), but I finally saw the "internet light"...

Here I sit on Christmas Eve reflecting back at a wonderful (and roller coaster) year! It seems like it has gone by so quickly and to some degree, I feel that I have missed out on a lot by not smelling the roses as it has gone by. I knew this was going to be a tough year, but I did make it over the hump!

As many of your remember, I quit my day job of approximately 10 years to give internet marketing a full-time try. I had 6 months to pull in quite a bit of money to survive, else it was back to the cubicle. The first few months were very stressful and frustrating! Our household income fell substantially, health care for the kids was a big nightmare and we found out my wife was pregnant unexpectedly. But as I always stress throughout my correspondences, perseverance, staying strong and moving forward is what got us by.

I am so thankful to still be in the position that I am in: working from home, supporting my family, making many new online friends, expanding online and growing both as a person and a businessman. Right now, I can hardly wait for the upcoming year because I know there are so many things that are up-and-coming. TheWebReviewer, for example, is going to get an entire new make-over in the first quarter of next year offering more reviews, more free tools and more input from you! At the same time, NetWebVideo will be expanding and continuing to grow while it changes into a structure that more of you will be able to afford and take advantage of.

But again, I could not be doing this without everyone’s support…that includes visitors to my sites, colleagues, mentors, partners, family and friends. The question that everyone always continues to ask me is: “Does this stuff REALLY work?” My answer is always simple: YES! Everyone has the potential of living any kind of lifestyle that they want. It might be a steeper climb for some, but with the proper determination and drive, you can all get there.

Now is the time to relax and enjoy your holiday season with your family and friends. I officially turn off my computer for three days starting tonight. And whether you have had a difficult year or a prosperous one, now is the time to reflect and be thankful for all of the good that has happened…and then focus on next year and MAKE it everything you ever wanted it to be.

Yes, I am a strong believer in the law of attraction. The holiday season is nothing more than a time to be happy for the present and lay the groundwork for a prosperous new year. Again, thanks for reading my blog and best holiday wishes from myself and my entire family!

Sincerely (cheers!)…matt and family
