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

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"...

Perhaps you’ve noticed the plethora of free home based business offers popping up around the Internet. It seems these types of offers are becoming common place. Some questions that come to mind when I see a free offer are ‘what’s the catch?’ and ‘why would they give this away for free?’ 

With a little research, you can know the answers to these questions and make certain when you plug into a free offer that it is truly free and worth your time and energy. Research? Well, maybe not real research—more like using your excellent reading comprehension skills to dissect the fine print of the offer. It’s that simple.   The thing is with these free offers is that many of them are better labeled as kind-of free or semi-free. Yes, you can get the product or information at no cost, but then there is a monthly program membership for $9.99 or you are charged for an e-zine or other product. It’s important to know the details of the offer, so that you don’t find yourself with a surprise fee and something you didn’t want or need.    Many of these semi-free offers give you an opportunity to cancel the membership and keep the free item, so as long as you know what you are getting into these offers can still be great finds. It’s exciting to think that you can receive an entire education to help you make money online for free when you find the right no-cost offers.    While some people avoid free offers, because they think they must be scams, the reality is that there is plenty of quality information found this way. Because the competition in the Internet marketing world is stiff, people are offering valuable information and products for free in order to pull in new customers. It is an effective marketing strategy that can benefit both parties.  

 

You don’t have to be to skeptical of a good offer, just read the fine print and know all you can about the offer before you sign-up. And when you find the right one, use it, create your action plan, and get to work. You’ll be well on your way to IM success in 2009.

  1. so what’s the catch? nothing in your article. if none, just say so. you have a misleading title. but you got your google ranking right, sneaky. people like me are looking for straight honest answers, not just your marketing exposure.

  2. Hi Maria, thanks for your response.

    Actually, I am just like you, researching different opportunities to find the one that is best for me. I wasn’t trying to be sneaky or misleading with the title.

    So what’s the catch, you ask? The “catch” is that you have to be careful about what you are signing up for, or you might end up with a monthly fee program or subscription you weren’t expecting. At this point in my career, I can’t afford those *extras*, so I have to make sure I always read the fine print of any free or “semi-free” offer before going through with it.

    Again, sorry if you were frustrated with the article! That absolutely was not my intention. Just wanted to inform people about what’s behind those sort-of free offers!
