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"...

StomperNet Live 7: Report

A cross-country trip to Atlanta could only mean one thing: StomperNet Live!
And it didn’t disappoint, either! I personally had three main highlights to the trip (outside of the standard meeting new people!).


A cross-country trip to Atlanta could only mean one thing:  StomperNet Live!

And it didn’t disappoint, either!

I personally had three main highlights to the trip (outside of the standard meeting new people!)…

1)  Perry Belcher - Great, GREAT presentation on Twitter! (You can follow him at: @perrybelcher)  I have my own personal strategies on Twitter (that focuses on the quality of your followers) but Perry knows about QUANTITY and QUALITY!  I came out of it with a lot of action items and ideas I wanted to start trialing in my own efforts.

In fact, in just TWO days, I increased my follower-ship by over 14%!

I’m going to keep testing this and write more about it in the future!

2)  David Bullock - I found this to be TOTALLY inspirational!  It was how he took an idea and a passion and made it into an authority (a new book and a whole lot of cash!).  His story was about how we created a website that focused on social media’s impact on Barack Obama’s presidental campaign.  What resulted was Barack 2.0.

Now it makes total sense for someone like David to bring together politics and internet marketing.  But I think the moral of this story is that he took a passion and a “great idea”, acted on it, and created a mini-empire but focusing on great content alone.

(not Adsense, Affiliate marketing, or lead generation!…not that there is anything wrong with that!)

3)  Paul Lemberg - I am TOTALLY bummed out that I didn’t get to talk to or meet Paul, especially since he is a San Diegan like myself, but it doesn’t matter.  It is his content and strategies that wins me over!

Here, he introduces the “Pseudo-SIXTH” Formula of F5.  This one is different than the rest.  While the Formula 5 concept focuses on taking a business and making it better, this Sixth formula goes into great detail on creating content and products.

Personally, I am a content creating junkie and I don’t need much motivation to create any kind of content.  Still, listening to Paul opened my mind to about a dozen new and overlooked ways for me to re-manage much of the current content I already have (plus, gives me ideas for some new and simpler ways of creating content, too!).

I loved Formula-5 day at StomperNet Live!  (I like Formula 5 in general, but focusing on content creation really provides a stepping stone for those just starting out as well as a muse for those of use always looking for bigger and better ways to get more information out!).

Of course, there was other great talks and “closed door” discussions that brought me home with over 11 pages of action items.  (I am also pretty excited about some of the new features coming to Traffic Geyser…stay tuned!).

All-in-all, it was worth the trip (and 8 hours of airport/flying time) to StomperNet Live in Atlanta!

That makes it my 6th (of 7) StomperNet trips…I can’t wait for the next!

cheers…matt
