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"...

While trial and error are part of the learning process, you can save time and money by setting up your dropship business right the first time. These tips can help you to identify common mistakes to avoid when it comes to finding dropship products and developing a solid online store.

While there is a guru for each and every aspect of online business and marketing, there may be some areas you can handle on your own, but dropship business isn’t really one of them. The time and effort you can save by utilizing a service like Worldwide Brands offers through its dropship directory far out weigh membership fees in most cases.

Rather than doing all of the research yourself and trying to find the right dropship products and companys, you can simply log on and find what you need through Worldwide Brands. Still not convinced? I know from first personal experience that most newbies are all about doing the work on their own to save a few bucks, but the fact is that there are so many scammy dropship companies out there trying to overcharge for low-quality products. Of course, you want to avoid these companies at all costs, but sometimes it can be difficult to know the difference between the good guys and the bad guys online.

It pays to make sure any product associated with your business is 1) a good quality product, 2) going to make it to the customer in good time and in good condition, and 3) fairly priced so that you can make the most profit possible on each product. Because of this, it makes sense to utilize a service that will put you in touch with reputable companies that can improve your business, creating repeat customers and ultimately increasing online profits.

As a newbie in the world of e-commerce, everything you do related to your business takes more time and research than it does for the person who has been doing the work for a few years. Having access to a well-researched dropship directory and tools to streamline your business give you an advantage, so you can actually compete with the more experienced online stores.

In addition to finding the right dropship company to supply your products, it is vital to know your niche. By thoroughly researching your target market prior to conducting product selection, you can find out what products they are buying, increasing your chances to choose the right products the first time.

While there will always be a certain element of trail and error when it comes to being a new online store, you can minimize the errors and achieve success sooner when you know your niche front and back and can offer high-quality products from a top-notch dropship company. Thanks to a company like Worldwide Brands, you don’t have to do it all on your own.
