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"...

Butterfly Marketing 2.0: Bad for Marketing?

Mike Filsaime is back with yet another “Free” offer. This time, he is leveraging off of his previous (and most popular product), Butterfly Marketing and I personally have my own issues with this whole launch and strategy.

**********************************

Update 3/24/09 at 5:30pm PST

I see the “Add to Cart” button is now live:

Get Butterfly Marketing Now:  http://gofollow.me/BFM

**********************************

Update 3/24/09 at 10:20am PST

So here is what Mike just said:

He is guaranteeing that everyone today will get a copy. He is actually PUSHING people away right now to buy because his servers cannot take the load.

(again, this is too funny!)

Come back in a few hours (he is expecting even as late as 6 or 7pm tonight!). The offer WILL still there later today, per Mike.  (He will release more than 5000, if he has to!)

You can follow along still at the main page at http://gofollow.me/BFM

Mike Filsaime is back with yet another “Free” offer.

This time, he is leveraging off of his previous (and most popular product), Butterfly Marketing.

I personally have my own issues with this whole launch and strategy.

And before I continue, I wanted to say that I do respect Mike a lot for what he does as a marketer.  I think he is aggressive, but the way he can sell stuff is rather unbelieveable.  I have met Mike a couple of times (StomperLive 1 and the Inner Mastermind Meet-up) and both times I have met with him, I was rather impressed with him both as a person and as a marketing “guru”.  So I kind of like the guy (even though we probably wouldn’t remember me from a bar a soap!).

That being said, I think this is a bit too much.  It is not good for internet marketing and it puts some of us (like me!) who work hard to teach online strategies with substance, to grow efficienty.

I did originally buy the Butterfly Marketing product and I thought it was good (not the greatest).  I do use a lot of the strategies taught in there NOW, but as a “newbie” they were a bit abstract.

Was it worth $2000?  I would say so.  I have gotten as much out of that as I did with products like Mass Control and the Arbitrage Conspiracy.  (I don’t put Product Launch Formula here, because I think PLF is a bit better!).

So Mike is giving this away almost for free:  Shipping and Handling ($29.95).

I am probably a little bit bitter because I spent two thousand dollars on this in the past.

The catch?  Well, like the 7 Figure Secrets, you will be subscribed to a monthly magazine (which you can cancel at any time…I did cancel after 3 months and it was very easy).

The other thing he is doing here is upselling a workshop that he is going to hold in Las Vegas (I don’t know when, though).  Personally, I think the opportunity to sign up for THIS is worth the $29.95 alone.  Every guru under the sun is probably going to be there (and Las Vegas workshops given by Mike never seem to disappoint).

So the moral here is this:

1)  Yes, I am bitter about this, but accepting of it, too.

2)  For the $30 bucks, getting a copy of Butterfly Marketing 2.0 is well worth it (it SHOULD be your bookshelf of learning material…)

3)  You may want to get this JUST so you can get your invite to the Las Vegas workshop (I am actually thinking of buying this AGAIN just to go to that!)

4)  The Butterfly Marketing 2.0 release will happen tomorrow (March 24, 2009) at 1pm EST.  There are a limited number of packages (I think about 5000) and once they are gone, they are gone.  They expect this to sell out within 3 hours.

Here’s the link:

(Go to it now to learn more about this offer and be there tomorrow to get it!)

cheers…matt

P.S.  How is Butterfly Marketing 2.0 different from the first one?  Answer:  I don’t have a clue!  I have not seen it yet!

  1. Hey Matt,

    I can’t get in!!! It’s 9:54am—I can’t get in!!! I’ve been clicking the link for the past 10 minutes and the website must be jam-packed with people already. Agh!

  2. It seems these GURU’s can’t efficiently launch an expected sell-out. Why don’t they offer a lottery or some other method so there aren’t these huge problems? I’m sure Mike knew this would be an instant hit.

  3. Be patient, my good man! We all knew this was going to be nuts! Just keep trying right now. There are probably tens of thousands currently hitting the site all at once…I am sure the shopping cart is going to be crashing next.

    Ah, the “big launches”…you gotta love this stuff!

  4. I know, Robert! I have YET to see a major launch not crash in the 3 years I’ve been doing this. I have some feeling they *let it happen* just to create more of a frenzy!

    At least it *appears* to be launching on time for once…then again, if you can’t GET TO THE SITE, does it really count to be on time?

  5. I see the “launch time” keeps moving on the page! Hmmm…maybe I was right in the prediction that this won’t launch on time!…And watching the comments on the uStream is complete hysteria!

  8. No worries, I guess he’s guaranteed an order for everyone because of the technical difficulties…1st time I’ve seen that youstream site, kind of cool, I kind of want to research some marketing stuff thats been done with that now (always something new out there, eh?)

  9. Hey, Matt,

    I signed up for the early bird e-mail but never received it, so I pretty much wasted my time getting on extra early to try to get this all done and out of the way. Any idea why I didn’t get the e-mail ? I checked my spam folder just in case, and it wasn’t there either.

    Cheers,
    Ray

  10. Hey Dustin,

    UStream is AWESOME and free, too! I have done a few (and the best thing is that after you do it live, you can repost it later, too). You can see one of mine here:

  11. Hey Ray,

    it seems like the early-bird link never really worked! That is what originally crashed the systems. And you didn’t get that link from me (I wasn’t blessed enough to get an early-bird link from Mike). Oh well, didn’t seem to make much difference, did it? (Yea, I do find this humorous!). Anyway, you WILL be guaranteed a copy this evening. He suggests to return around 7pm EST tonight.

  12. Hey Matt
    I tried to get in at 1:00 sharp and couldn’t get in. never even saw the order button. how will he ever know who all tried to order?

    Posted by: Anna Yoder
    March 24th, 2009 at 9:50 am

  13. Hey Anna,

    it never really opened! What he is going to do it keep the shopping cart open for probably a full day and take all orders that come in (even if it exceeds his limit of 5000). Go back around 7pm EST tonight (and maybe even try it off and on throughout the day). Right now, his servers just cannot take the load of the buyers, so I think he is just going to open it without giving any exact time (but by doing this, he was assure everyone that they will get a copy today!…which he is). Frustrating? uh…yea. This seems to always happen, though. cheers…matt
