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"...

There are things you may choose to outsource because you’re busy or because you need a certain level of expertise but a lot of people have negative outsourcing experiences before they have positive ones because they’re unprepared for the process of finding the right people for the job.

A lot of people who want to make money online need help from time to time. You may need help starting your online biz, growing it, and maintaining it. You might need help when you grow to the point where you’re overwhelmed by day to day tasks or when you want something done that you don’t have the skills to do.

There are things you may choose to outsource because you’re busy or because you need a certain level of expertise but a lot of people have negative outsourcing experiences before they have positive ones because they’re unprepared for the process of finding the right people for the job.

What can you do?

There are a lot of different ways you can thwart negatives with outsourcing to contractors. The first thing you can do is really take the time to find the right person. You’ll find job bidding sites (such as Elance, Guru, and Odesk) and you’ll find professionals who advertise on webmaster or internet marketing forums, as well as who SEOize their own website so that you’ll find them when you search for a certain level of expertise. Here are some tips for making the experience as positive as possible:

  • Research. Look at the person’s samples and look them up online to see what their online reputation is.
  • Use an escrow service. Some job bidding sites will hold the funds until you’re satisfied with the work.
  • Use a site with a feedback mechanism so you can ascertain skills and work ethic by checking out work history with other entrepreneurs.
  • Start off small. Don’t outsource your whole business right away. Try a few small tasks with a new provider to see if they meet your needs an expectations before assigning a large scale project

People who want to make a living online are in great supply but not all of them will have the skills or the work standards that meet your needs. Due diligence and research can help you make the most of outsourcing.
