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 returned from Atlanta a couple of days ago to find a package in the mail from StomperNet which included a DVD-ROM sample of Stomping the Search Engines 2 and a “journal” (as they prefer to call it) called The Net Effect.

What’s going on?

At StomperNet Live in Atlanta, there were rumors that Stomping the Search Engines 2 was going to be made available to the public very soon.  I don’t know a price and I don’t know what The Net Effect is all about.

Upon initial review, the Stomping the Search Engines videos are some of their best.  It also included the first Stomping the Search Engines (which was Brad Fallon’s product pre-Stompernet).  This was the basis of what Stompernet has become and much of the SEO discussed in the first Stomping the Search Engines hold true still to this day (and many of these original strategies are what propelled my business 10-fold in the beginning) .  The version 2 of Stomping the Search Engines takes these fundamentals and applies many of the current and social strategies to our search engine optimization.  As a StomperNet member, I already got access to this, but are they really going to make this stuff public and for how much???

Now “The Net Effect” was what really interested me.  I remember talking with Dan Thies (from StomperNet)  and giving him some feedback on things to improve StomperNet.  My suggestion was to create a way to provide members with regular updates and strategies in the core areas of internet marketing such as traffic, conversion, ppc, social marketing, research, technology, etc.  Personally, I don’t have time to watch 10 hours of videos per week.

This journal, The Net Effect, fulfilled this EXACT need that I was talking about!  (I like to read before going to bed…not watch videos on my computer!)  The content was thorough, state-of-the-art and I learned so much from just this introductory “press release” of the Net Effect.

I still am not sure what they are doing with it, but I just hope they send their current members a free copy!  (and if they don’t, I will probably even spend the money to subscribe).  We’ll have to wait and see!

That is all I know right now!  As I find out more, I will post it at TheWebReviewer at:
