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"...

Making Money with Your UnUsed Domain

Did you know that most people have domain names that currently are not being used? The ironic thing is that these unused domain names can be making your money TODAY! Even worse, someone ELSE may be making money from YOUR unused domain name. Fix this today…

One of the most exciting things about starting something on the internet is the domain name.  It is really where you start and where your initial ideas can go rampant.  They are pretty darn cheap, too (only $7.49 with the GoDaddy Coupon).  So we are rather motivated to buy a domain the minute we get the idea (and that domain is available!).  Me personally, I have done it dozens of times.

But how many of these domains are actually be developed?  Sure, it seems like a great idea Sunday night to buy it, but by Monday it can be rather forgotten (at least for a week…maybe a month).

Been there, done that TONS of times.

But just because you purchased a domain and haven’t done anything with it doesn’t mean that you can’t monetize it either.  By default, companies like GoDaddy will “park” your unused domain.  And parking is good…as long as you are the one making money!

Here is how domain parking works…Instead of putting a website on your domain, a third-party company will do it for you.  They will then (litter) the page with advertising.  It kind of looks like a search engine result, in fact.  If someone happens to arrive on your unused website and clicks one of these links, there is advertising revenue to be made (just like Adsense).  You would then share the revenue with the company who sets it up.

Now with GoDaddy, they DO park your website by default, but they initially do not share the revenue with you.  They offer a “parking” package with a monthly fee to share this revenue.

What a bunch of BS!

Parking your website should be FREE and EASY. In today’s video, I use Sedo, a free parking service, to park one of my GoDaddy domain names (just because you bought it at GoDaddy doesn’t mean you cannot park it elsewhere!).  It takes me less than 5 minutes to set up, too.

Plus, with Sedo, you can open your domain name up for sale or bidding.  Again, not a bad idea if you bought the domain but don’t think you are going to develop it in the future.  I’ve personally sold an “unused” domain for about $1000 in the past.  I’ve also purchased some great domains from Sedo in the past, too.

My point is that if you currently have some domain names you are not using, you might as well park them and start making some money (you can add as many domains as you like to Sedo).  It is free to and easy to set up (as the video shows).  Plus, you just may find that one buyer is willing to pay you top dollar for it.

Start Parking Your Domains Now!

cheers…matt

  1. Matt - I park most of my unused domains with sedo, but I have one that contains a celebrity name, so they won’t let me park it with them. And I don’t want to pay GoDaddy. Any other ideas?

  2. The only other one that I have tried lately is NameDrive. I don’t know if they allow names, but it is worth a shot (they are a bit more “rough” than Sedo).

  5. Hey Mike,

    You can move the site any time you want! All you are doing is changing your nameservers to point to their “parked web page”. If you want to develop the site, you will just point to your website host. The move would take just a couple of minutes. Remember that Nameservers are just the location where your website lives (your “hosting” or “server”). In this case, Sedo is hosting the site for free and putting up an advertising page on your behalf (and sharing the profits with you).

    cheers…matt
