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

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"...

Selling Products 101: Physical Products

Selling products online is one of the most profitable ventures. But what do you sell? Should I sell physical products or what we call “information products”? This is the start of a 4 part series on “What to Sell Online”. I should not be missed!

Today I start a 4-part series about selling products online.

I’ve been watching Eben Pagan’s Guru Mastermind videos over the past few days and it made me think about the current businesses I run online, the businesses I have had and of course, the products that I sell.

What to sell online?!  That is a big question!

As an affiliate marketer for a few years now, the question of what to sell was usually not that big.  (I sold what was selling!)  But I realized that there was more opportunities in making money from selling products.

I remember when I first joined Stompernet back in October 2006 (BTW, Stomping the Search Engines 2 is back on Sale! Be sure to check that out!), the big thing was eCommerce.  Brad Fallon had his wedding favors website and Andy Jenkins had his armory and tapestry websites.  So naturally, I thought it was the direction I wanted to go, too.

And I did it…for awhile.  I was selling garden adornments.  It was working, but at this time I was still working a 9-5 job and was struggling to manage the business (and I wasn’t making as much as I was as an affilate marketer at the time).  So I scrapped it, but I learned a lot.  I could have grown if I focused on this, but chose to stick with affiliate marketing at the time.

I now do sell products again, but mostly information products.  In the first video, though, I want to talk about physical products (including the pros and the cons).  For some of you, this is a natural fit.  For others (like myself), I prefer information products.

Eben Pagan does, too.  In fact, he was a major reason why I chose the information products path (and I have really never looked back!).  First, check out my part 1 of Selling Products 101 (video above) and secondly, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you also start watching some of Eben’s Guru Home Study Course Videos, too (right now, they are free and well worth the opt-in!):
