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"...
Everyone recommends Worldwide Brands. I did find some negativity, though. One web writer said everyone is getting products from WWB, so it is not a viable product source anymore. Also, I am also curious, is there any monetary link to WWB, which makes everyone recommend them? In other words, are the E-Marketing gurus getting a cut?

Hey Steve,
Almost everything that is sold online these days has a monetary component in providing a positive review on it. (I am no exception), BUT!, it is easy to write a over-hyped review that does not list any details or provide any real insight into the product. When I first started out, I focused on products that just converted well (due to great ad copy and hardcore marketing). If you have followed TheWebReviewer over the years, I have removed many reviews because I started to share the real truth about some of these products (and was repeatedly getting sued…and ultimately had to incorporate TheWebReviewer to protect myself). I am one person, and cannot fight against these bigger corporations. So now, I focus primarily on products that I support, like, and use myself. You do have to be weary of review sites in general, though. I personally have nothing to hide and I will gladly show my face, my opinions, and my contact details because what I say is what I honestly believe. Has this cost me money over the years? Yep, but I can still support itself on these real reviews, alone. My reputation right now means more to me than misleading my visitors.
As for your other question…if everyone is going to Worldwide Brands, doesn’t that just saturate the market? (Sounds like a great excuse to create another video blog!)…Until then…cheers…matt

I guess the answer to my question was “yes.” I enjoy the information you provide and think you are going to go a long way in your new business venture. I do wish that all E-commerce gurus, in the interest of honesty and integrity, would close their reviews by saying “So-and-so is an affiliate,” or “I receive payment from so-and-so.” This is common to an extent in television, somewhat in newspapers. I am ashamed of our country and legal system when it punishes the little guy, like yourself, trying to tell the truth and launch a meaningful business. Keep up the good work. I will keep reading and watching.
