How do I change <h1> formatting in CSS?

I want to use <h1> tags in my navbits around the thread title but I do not want the text to be huge like the default <h1>.

I have tried something like:
h1 {
font-size: 11;
}

etc etc but it doesnt work

That should do it. Try 11pt

I use this:
h1 { font-size: 175%; font-weight: bold; text-align: center; }

And have my thread title shown inside an H1 at the top of SHOWTHREAD. Makes it easier to see the thread title.

Example: http://www.fireblades.org/forums/gen...anews-com.html

Or try this,

.h1navbar {
font-family:verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
margin:0;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
display: inline;
}

And use the class in the navbar:

<h1 class="h1navbar">




BTW this is a great thing, it helped a lot on our forums.

We have the thread title set as H2, also the navbar

We use H1 for the board title, on top of our logo which is a background works great (as seen on www.seochat.com)

This is what happens when i use that, dutch

Font-sizes with CSS can be done in many ways. Let me dig out my Cascading Style Sheets O'Reilly manual. Here are some examples:

h1 { font-size: 24pt; }
h1 { font-size: 2pc; }
h1 { font-size: 1.0in; }
h1 { font-size: 1.56cm; }
h1 { font-size: 12.7mm; }
h1 { font-size: 150%; }
h1 { font-size: 1.5em; }
h1 { font-size: x-large; }

One thing to watch out for, that would definitely constitute shady SEO: don't let your h1 sizes be declared as smaller than your h2's or h3's. IMO, your safest bet is to define all three of them, in descending order.

So given the attachment above... how would you set it up?

Would you wrap <h1> Around the "Ford Mustang Forums" title
<h2> around the thread title?

Now how do I keep the same formatting as the regular navbar instead of what it looks like in the attachment above?

Basically I am asking, given my site, http://www.mustangevolution.com/forum/ if it was yours how would you setup the SEO and use the appropriate tags?

Where should I wrap the <h1>'s?

Hi BrentWilson,

Now how do I keep the same formatting as the regular navbar instead of what it looks like in the attachment above?

Try the following style for your H1:

h1 { font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; text-align: left; display:inline; }
