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"...

StomperNet (Hostile) Take-Over?

Since the announcement that Brad Fallon has bought out Andy Jenkin’s share in StomperNet, many questions come up about the future of StomperNet. As a member and active participant for nearly 3 years now, I have a lot to say on the matter (and not all of it is good, either!)…

After reading Lynn Terry’s blog post this morning (Andy Jenkins Leaves StomperNet…), I felt that I should throw my two cents out there about the current change (or shift) of Stomper power from “Brandy” to just “Brad”.

Since I have been part of StomperNet since the beginning back in October 2006, I have seen many of the changes and transitions that have come and gone with StomperNet.  Some changes were not great and some were outstanding.

Now understand that I do give some credit to StomperNet for educating me and taking me “to that next level”, but over the past (almost) 3 years, I have had much of a love-hate relationship with the company.

The Love

I still think that StomperNet is a collection of some of today’s top internet marketing minds and provide some of the most state-of-the-art education in the online business niche.  The StomperLive events (which I have attended 6) are some of the best in the business - no fluff, no pitching, lots of one-on-one reviews and support.  For the 15 months I was a paying member, I felt I got my money’s worth.

The Hate

For about a year now, there has been a lot of changes to the program, its staff and its marketing.  I think it has done a great job with adding people like Paul Lemberg (Formula 5), Ben Mack, and newly added Ross Goldberg.  I like all of these guys.  Still, I have seen a lot of people (and allies) for that matter, go (all for their own specific reasons, which I will not go on about here).

The addition of the Net Effect has been a great resource, but the marketing and fulfillment has been kind of a bumpy raod.  As an affiliate, I received a lot of discerning emails from angry clients of mine.  These new market offerings (which included Stomping the Search Engines 2) seemed to throw a big wrench into the business machine known as StomperNet (which, as affiliate payments go has yet to be be entirely resolved with me).

Many of these bumps, like the process flow, StomperNet customer service and fulfillment, of the Net Effect has been resolved now.

Then there was the Arbitrage Conspiracy in November and the rumors that Brad Fallon was kicked out of StomperNet.  Huh?  I guess not.

So now what?  In my opinion, there is both good and bad coming out of this StomperNet re-organization.

The Good

Brad is a brilliant businessman.  He knows how to run and manage online businesses.  I expect many of my affiliate issues to be resolved and knowing there is a solo person at the top makes the structure and management of StomperNet very clear cut.  Brad WILL bring in the best and spare no expense (as long as it makes solid business sense).  This may include new faculty additions and changes to the existing platforms (which personally, I am kind of getting bored with).

The Bad

Andy Jenkins in the real face of StomperNet.  He is a charismatic salesman and he really is “one with the people”.  You go to StomperLive to see Andy.  He is everywhere.  He is the personality of StomperNet and he makes it fun.  He offers some extraordinary content as an online guru, too.  He is be a tough void to fill in StomperNet.

The Verdict

I’m sad to see Andy go.  Rumors have it that he is moving out to California (maybe to San Diego like every other internet marketer?  That would be cool!).  Still, change can be good.  I have a lot of faith in Brad Fallon to revitalize and reinvent an already incredible online education program.

I unfortunately won’t be going out to StomperLive in early August (prior commitments), but it should be really interesting!  I’ll just have to wait for the next StomperNet Live, and by that time most of the dusk will have settled and we’ll then see exactly what the fate of StomperNet will be.

cheers…matt

  1. So what do you suppose is Andy’s next move?

  2. If Andy is moving out here to San Diego, I assume that he is trying to get into the little internet marketing “gurus” club of Kern, Reese, Koenigs, Robbins, etc. Purely speculation, but if I were him and had the opportunity, it would make sense.

    cheers…matt
