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"...

Why I Love and Hate Chris Crocker

I don’t know about you, but if I see that stupid clip of Chris Crocker whining about Britney Spears one more time, I think I am going to pull my eyes out of their sockets. Personally, I think the clip is lame and I really do not know what all the interest in it is [...]

The thing about this is how powerful this YouTube video actually is. I am not a YouTube watcher by any means, yet I know so much about this video. I have probably seen excerpts of it over a dozen times over the last few weeks and I am not even sure what they are in reference to.

As internet marketers, we work day and night and pay tons of money to simply be seen. We want people to know who we are and where to find us on the internet. And by working long and hard, we can slowly climb a mountain and here I am! According to alexa, 0.0011% of internet users (very roughly) have found my site! Yippee! YouTube, on the other hand has about a 14% share of internet users (and I can guarantee about 90% of these users have seen this Chris Crocker clip).

What is this saying? Simple: one good, popular VIRAL video clip on YouTube that took approximately 15 minutes to produce is 13,000 times more popular than the 20 months I have worked building my online businesses. Crazy, isn’t?

I also find it funny now that a handful of very successful internet marketers are trying to re-create their own “Chris Crocker” clip to try to market products. They understand the importance of this viral market and are now trying to leverage off of its short-termed viral effect.

But here is the golden question of the day: Can you make money off of this? I think Chris Crocker is going to make his quick pay-day, but is this a way to secure steady income? (Remember William Hung???) Probably not.

At the end of the day, my 0.0011% is probably going to make me more money, but this does not diminish the power of the viral video. One viral video right now could leverage a website quite a bit. The problem is: How to create a video that goes viral? And secondly, just because a video goes viral does not mean it will bring you any financial compensation…maybe just a lot of popularity.
