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"...

I just got back from a week of attending money making conferences, networking and taking part in mastermind groups. During this time, I was lucky enough to meet some of the most successful online marketers of our time (like John Reese and Brad Fallon) while also meeting with a variety of struggling wannabe online entrepreneurs. The contrast was astounding. But more interestingly was one thing that separted these two groups. One thing that made the success stories different from the failures: TAKING ACTION!

“Doing” is perhaps one of the most important aspects of any type of online business. I cannot tell you the number of people that I spoke with that had great ideas that were failing. Why? They were not following through. Some did not have plans. Others just “have not gotten to it yet”. And the reasons were numerous:

  • “I don’t have the time”
  • “I don’t have the money”
  • “I don’t know how to design a website”
  • “I don’t know anything about marketing”
  • “I’ll get to it tomorrow”

Excuses! So MY questions to these responses where:

  • “So how are you going to fix this?”
  • “What plan do you have to rectify this?”

These questions are what separated the successes from the failures. The strugglers could not answer these questions. The money makers had plans to get over obstacles. To make money in this business, there should be No Excuses; No Can’t s; No obstacle that cannot be overcome.

Taking action is the key to anything successful in life. Of course, taking action usually comes at some cost and risk. That is OK. The individual must weigh the costs and risks and make a DECISION on what ACTION to take. Postponing decisions postpones actions. Making decisions and actions is what entrepreneurship is all about. I’ve said it many times before, but the online money making business is not always easy and you WILL need to make frequent decisions. Some of them work and some of them do not. For the failures, you DECIDE to move on, learn from your mistakes and take ACTION.

The reason why most people do not make money online is because they give up. They make a decision not to take action and the story ends.

Yes, I am on a seminar high at the moment, but this is always a good wake up call. Just remember that you will come to crossroads quite regularly where it is easier to stop then continue. The decision to stop and not take action means it is over…and that is why most people fail at online business.
