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"...

With all of the buzz surrounding the Wealthy Affiliate program, it is almost impossible not to be drawn to it, or at least want to learn a little more about what it has to offer. Online reviews reveal a near-perfect IM educational program complete with an online community and free web creation and hosting. Can this program really be as great as it sounds?

A closer look at the program’s Wealthy Affiliate University shows numerous tutorials, mini-courses and e-books covering all topics related to Internet marketing and affiliate marketing. While there is no shortage of information online about these topics, it can be very challenging to weed through the junk to find quality, legitimate information that helps you start-up or grow your online business.

Many people are finding that rather than purchasing several e-books and visiting numerous sites, a WA membership provides everything in one convenient place. This may be a great option for people who are ready to get their IM business started yesterday and don’t want to spend the next year just researching and learning.

Let’s face it—most people want to learn as much as they can as quickly as possible so they can begin putting things into action. They don’t have time to waste and they want to see results (meaning: money) sooner than later. WA provides the tools that make this kind of education and business plan possible.

Other features of the WA program include things like a job center to find work or get help on a project, a social-networking type section called WA Spaces, and a very active online forum. The hugely successful and well-respected WA founders, Kyle and Carson, participate in the online forums and also offer one-on-one coaching to members.

While no reviewer is touting that this is a get-rich-quick program, many members have had incredibly impressive results very quickly. They key, as in all programs, is to be proactive and utilize Wealthy Affiliate to obtain the maximum benefit. There is no program that will bring success without the hard work required to make things happen.
