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

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"...

Affiliate Summit West 2010 - Day 2: Good, Bad…& Ugly

It was a roller coaster day here at Affiliate Summit West 2010. The event itself is going great! Bigger and better than ever (too big for the venue, in fact). But my troubles come elsewhere…

day2picHmmm…Let’s first start out with:

The Ugly

Well that is simple!  The Chargers lost…and to the Jets, too. It might have also bad that I missed most of the game, too, but maybe that was a blessing.  (How could they have lost???)  On a good note here, I was told the devastating news by a beautiful 20-something blond (an attendee to Affiliate Summit) who gave me a sympathy hug for my pain.

The Bad

I seemed to have lost my Flip camera.  Total bummer, dude.  I had some very quality videos of myself entering the Rio (again) and me pondering over the Meet Market sardine can, I mean meeting halls (how fascinating!). Actually, I had a couple of cool interviews on it which where pretty good.  Hope to find “some” video solution by tomorrow (I need to earn that press badge, you know!).

The Good

Despite the lost camera (that sucked) and the Chargers loss (that really sucked), the event itself is going great.  There is a HUGE turn-out this year and the Meet Market (which is Day 1’s version of the expo) was wall-to-wall people.  Still, I found most of the vendors I was looking for (and have already set up 3 follow-ups with potential partners!).

The energy is ALIVE!  It has been awhile since I have been to an event with so much going on.  Tonight is the big Share-A-Sale party back at the Rio and everyone seems to be on-board.  Late night is divided all over the place with tons of parties at the Palms (across the street).  And midnight brings the big charity bowling tournament over at the Gold Coast.

It is only 7pm and I’m drained.  Where is my Red Bull?  (Actually, I totally tweeked out last time I drank one of those energy drinks, so I think I will stick with caffeine for now!).

Today, I didn’t get a chance to sit in on the sessions, but tomorrow’s agenda looks promising for me.  Talking with a few new’bs (that is newbies, for short), they seemed rather happy with what they learned today.  I hear tomorrow (for Gold and Platinum attendees) gets a bit deeper in the topics.  We’ll see.

For now, I need a shower and recovery margarita for my Chargers loss.  I guess I’m a Saints fan until the Super Bowl.  Go Brees!

Until tomorrow…cheers…matt

  1. All right, Matt… you convinced me… I think you need company for all these events you go to. I still consider you to be my closest ally in the game, and thinking about you alone in Vegas just scares me… I feel so unsettled.

    I mean, I don’t really go to a lot of conferences or meetups, because I really don’t think they have much to teach me, but I understand that you get a lot of networking in, and perhaps you can share with the community.

    So I decided that I’m gonna start meeting you at these gatherings. You can do your networking and listen to people talk, and I will protect you against the evils of Las Vegas, and I’ll be the big strong man to hold you at night.

    But I call big spoon.

    P.S. Vikings, baby!
