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"...

In my hunt for a personal assistant, the solution was literally under my roof: My wife. This totally made sense! But how? She took care of the kids. So we did a 180 and decided to outsource the child care to a nanny (3 days per week) while my wife works for me. By hiring my wife, I not only invest in the current growth of the company, but the future of it, as well. Sure, she gets added perks (like hanging out with me all day!), but that is what being married to an internet marketer is all about! (I can’t wait until I can hire my kids, too!)

  3. Matt,

    I’m excited to follow these outsourcing suggestions, because since I started the new job I’ve been pretty swamped between work, school stuff, family, etc. I have really wished I had some assistance to take care of some additional things I would like to do, but can’t seem to find time for now. This is less focused on my own home based business (cause I don’t got one, haha), but still I’m sure you’ll have some good advice! My only issues are that I still don’t have a wonderful wife (hi Sarah!) like you and I’m limited by the clearance stuff from hiring a digital assistant from India.

    Got your message on Twitter, and what can I say, I guess I’ve been on there longer, but you’ll catch up and pass me by, I have no doubt! =)

    -Jeremy
