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?
My 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"...
Sounds like you are having a great time in OZ. And good job on being a slacker…….we all deserve a break sometimes and you have certainly earned it. So have FUN!
I agree with you that less time on the net might be a blessing. As much as I adore and love the Internet, I have to say that there are few other things as time wasting as the web.
2009 has been slow for me in terms of moving ahead with my Internet business but I only have myself to blame and it’s certainly not due to all the awesome online business opportunities that I’m excited about everyday. But got to FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS! And STAY focused….that is the no. 1 challenge working online.
This year I have been blessed to find an awesome Internet business partner and friend and we are working in tandem and pushing each other forward. We also hired and fired (yes, we dreaded that one for days) our first team of writers and web developers…they just were not working out for us. Then interviewed more people and finally found two fantastic US writers to write articles and eBooks for us at a price we can afford.
Outsourcing is definitely the way to go despite the initial hassle of hiring and training. Even on a very low budget, like I have, you can still afford to outsource some things if you look in the right places.
So I certainly have some new experiences under my belt and I have so much to be grateful for. I still have a long way to go in terms of having a successful and lucrative business but it’s just a matter of pushing on.
Thank you for a super 2009, Matt, and I can’t wait to see you ROCK in 2010!
Merry Christmas back to you and your sweet family.
Best wishes for 2010,
Norena

Norena,
Sounds like you have the right state-of-mind and more importantly, you are taking action! That is how to do it! And one thing to take away from “slow” years like 2009 is that it is a great opportunity to start growing and positioning yourself for when the economy starts to recover again (which it will). I know I have tons of stuff coming out for 2010 that is exciting! Can’t wait to see your stuff, too.
You know where to find me, let me know how things go! Happy New Year!
cheers…matt
P.S. Like you were talking about, I have some posts on “automation”, the other side of outsourcing, coming up on Monday!
