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

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"...

For the past few weeks I’ve been blogging here about various successful female internet marketers who offer programs that teach people how to be more successful at their online ventures. Lisa Suttora is another great example of turning your computer into an income generating machine and this week I’ve been investigating Lisa’s online presence and her program WhatDoISell.

WhatDoISell

This program teaches people how to go about creating a successful online store. There are SO many wholesalers out there. Where do you start? Do you jump on the bandwagon for something that’s selling like hotcakes or get in early on a fresh niche before it explodes and rains money down on you? How do you find great wholesalers to deal with? How much do you invest in your business and how much earning potential is there? How do you handle marketing and bookkeeping? There’s so much to learn and those who want to make a small investment in their future can find programs that will teach them. Some people build a store on a whim and wait for the money to roll in. Successful people strategize and manage their online store like a business.

E-commerce is exciting. It’s growing at a phenomenal rate despite the bad economy but that doesn’t mean people should just jump in without doing research. Those who are lifelong learners tend to be not only the most successful in life but they tend to be happier people as well.

That’s something I love about what I do— the homework aspect. It’s important to delve into your subject and learn as much as you can about it. It’s also vital to learn how to be strategic so you can get traffic and then convert that traffic into a customer. (If you’re interested making money through e-commerce, click here for some things to consider before opening your online store.) Learning from the pros could definitely help you hit the ground running.
