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"...

As more and more women are coming to the forefront of Internet marketing, Rhea Perry is one name that is at the top of the heap. Her annual Entrepreneur Days events are creating a buzz in the online world, particularly for those who are interested in building a family home based business.

As more and more women are coming to the forefront of Internet marketing, Rhea Perry is one name that is at the top of the heap. Her annual Entrepreneur Days events are creating a buzz in the online world, particularly for those who are interested in building a family home based business. Perry utilizes her own personal family success story to help others succeed in making money online, and the result so far has been numerous families learning the ropes of Internet entreprenuership. Are you and your family next?

As a mom of three young children myself, I can only imagine how exciting it might be to include my children in a family business someday. It would be even more amazing if my husband could leave his draining office job to join us in our endeavors. In the past, this has seemed like an unattainable dream. However, taking a look at Perry’s inspiring story, the family home based business dream begins to feel more and more possible.

Who is Rhea Perry?

Perry is not your average Internet marketer. She is a homeschool mom of seven children. She has also worked as a curriculum counselor for a large publishing company where she developed homeschool books and programs. Somewhere along the way, she determined that she wanted her children to acquire more than just book knowledge. Rather, she wanted to prepare them for financial freedom by helping them to develop home businesses.

Perry began helping them to discover the possibilities of home business and taught them how to use the Internet to make money. Soon, her determination paid off, and her oldest son Drew became a successful real estate investor by the age of 18. He even surpassed his father’s income within three years, and soon his dad left his own job to join the family business.

Pretty inspiring, isn’t it? It gets better! Today, Drew is a millionaire in his twenties who teaches others how to make money online–particularly through eBay. Drew also works with his mother in her event called Entrepreneur Days. This annual seminar in Atlanta, Georgia, is Perry’s vehicle for bringing families together to teach them about how to find financial freedom. Children, teens and parents from all around the world attend this conference in order to get a real business going that can help them to meet financial goals.

The goal of Perry’s Entrepreneur Days conference is to teach families how to work together to develop and build home based businesses. Her own family success story provides an excellent foundation for her conferences, but she also works with a team of experts who bring their wisdom and experience to teach others principles and strategies that lead to financial success. From Web 2.0 and increasing website/blog traffic to stock market investing and eBay sales, the primary theme of Entrepreneur Days is teaching others how they can harness the power of the Internet to change their financial futures for the better.

I’m going to keep my eye on what Perry is doing in the online world. It is an exciting time to be a woman and a mother involved in Internet marketing. As Perry has demonstrated so well, the sky is the limit for ourselves and our children.
