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"...

While some people are panicking about how the economic recession is affecting their 401(k)s and other investments, for me and my family as well as many others the concerns are a bit different.

While some people are panicking about how the economic recession is affecting their 401(k)s and other investments, for me and my family as well as many others the concerns are a bit different. With little to no savings or investments, and for the most part facing a paycheck-to-paycheck situation, job loss or other financial crisis could put us in way over our heads.

For this reason, finding additional ways to bring in income is a consistent goal of mine. I’m always trying to find ways to supplement my writing income. I have spent a lot of time researching various online business opportunities, hoping to find the golden ticket to major financial success. I dream of bringing in enough money so that my husband could be a teacher again—his life’s calling—instead of having to work for a big corporation to make ends meet. However, with little money in the reserves, I can’t gamble with risky online opportunities. I have to know it is going to work for me, which is why I’m still in the research phase.

The thing I’m learning more and more is that there really isn’t a “golden ticket” or a magical get-rich-quick business plan. Any business—online or offline—takes a lot of time and energy. It also requires action. This is the scary part. I am comfortable researching for weeks on end, but when it comes down to making a move, fear sets in. Fear of failure. Fear of the unknown. Even more, fear of losing money!

However, reading the success stories of people who have achieved success and financial freedom through online business encourages me. I also know that I possess skills, such as writing, researching, advertising and marketing, which will serve me well in any online business venture.

So how do I move onto the next step and become proactive in my quest for online business success? I think planning and goal setting are key. Once I can determine what my goals are, I can choose one and work toward it. Even if I take baby steps toward Goal One, I am still making progress, rather than just researching the same things over and over.

Perhaps someday I will be one of the great online business success stories–maybe even during the recession.  Now…I just have to decide the best avenue….E-books? Blogs? Content sites? Domain Selling? E-commerce?
