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"...

Most people know someone who has either made a living or brought in significant income from his or her eBay business. Typing eBay in your online search engine brings up numerous success stories and claims of making money online quickly and easily with eBay. While it may be appealing to start listing everything you can on eBay right away to get in on a piece of the action, it is wise to take it slow and prepare yourself well.

Just like with any sound business opportunity doing your research and knowing all you can about how to sell on eBay is going to pay off in the long run. Don’t just play the game to play the game. Play the game to win by learning the ins and outs and ups and downs of the online auction industry BEFORE you open the virtual doors to your eBay business.

An important place to begin as you make the choice to sell on eBay is determining what kind of seller you want to be. Are you going to just be cleaning out your basement, garage and closets to bring in a few extra dollars? Are you going to go to every thrift store and garage sale within a 50-mile radius to find your products? Or are you interested in utilizing a wholesaler to sell merchandise?

In addition to these options, you can even sell land, homes, automobiles, websites and companies through eBay. The options and income opportunities are varied and endless.

Ebay connects literally hundreds of millions of buyers and sellers around the world every day, so the potential for finding a buyer for your product is great. Still, it is unlikely that buyers are going to automatically start bidding large sums on your items as soon as you set up shop. It takes a focused effort, and the right eBay business education is key.

One of the best ways to learn how to sell on eBay, is to learn from an online auction course. Sydney Johnston’s Auction Genius Course is one of the most complete eBay, online auction education and marketing how-to packages available.

This course leads the student in learning exactly how to identify the right products to sell. Additionally, the online course instructs on how to best utilize the Internet and affiliate marketing to take your eBay business to the next level. Taking the Auction Genius Course is basically a way to start on the right foot with your eBay business.

While each day many people will start new eBay businesses, only a select few will make them work. Preparing yourself with a solid online auction course gives you the advantage you need to succeed in your business.
