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"...

Have you been searching for a way to make your business stand out among the competition? Of course you have! That’s what Internet marketing is all about. However, it can be a huge challenge to find that tool or technique that can give your business the attention it needs to grow and achieve the sales YOU need to keep your Internet business dreams afloat.

While I will not promise you there is one marketing strategy that works for each and every business, I will say that research is proving what the Internet trend guys have been saying for a few years now: Video marketing is where it is at!

By this point, you may be rolling your eyes, “Oh it is that video marketing AGAIN.” I know many people are resistant to this IM trend and have a hard time believing they can pull it off successfully. After all, there are so many tasks you must accomplish in order to make your business work, why try another one that may or may not work for you?

Really, isn’t that the question that you had when you first considered Internet marketing? Is it even worth my time? Sometimes it requires going out on a limb and doing something out of your comfort zone to experience the kind of success that takes your business (and your income) to the next level. There is a certain element of risk involved in each new thing you try, but it is almost always worth the risk when you are allowing yourself the opportunity to increase your knowledge and benefit your business.

Alright, now that the pep-talk is over, let’s take a look at a quick list explaining why you should give video marketing a try and how you can make sure what you do is as effectively as possible.

  • A recent report revealed that more than 50% of the U.S. population will watch videos online this year. Marketing 101 explains that we as marketers should go where the people are, and video is how people are getting their information, education and entertainment. Why wouldn’t we go there?
  • Before you try your hand at video marketing, know your target market. Do they want insider tips, demonstrations, more info about your products or entertainment? Once you have a handle on the type of stuff your potential customer is seeking it is much easier to deliver relevant video content.
  • Don’t forget your SEO stuff. If you know how to find the best keywords for your article marketing and ads online, you are already ahead in the game with video marketing. Simply use those skills to come up with the keywords that will bring your target customer to your video.
  • Plan and prepare. If you are going to do video marketing, do it right! If you plan out what you are going to say or create an outline, you will be able to pull off an organized video that has a more professional and polished feel to it. The last thing you want to do is turn on the video camera and ramble.
  • Want a little extra help creating and distributing your video? Programs like Traffic Geyser and Camtasia can help you with everything from voice recording to promotion of your completed video.

If you are tired of hearing about how everyone is making so much money through YouTube videos and think it is time to start using it for your own business, just jump in and do it. Visit TheWebReviewer.com to get more tips and info about video marketing.
