SEO effectiveness of a <h1> Tag that’s edited with CSS

[jpf566]

Hey guys from what I understand <h1> tag is part of what search engine spiders search.. I would like to use <h1> tags in my site for the headers but the font size is huge…if I assign a style to it do you think that will negatively affect the way the search engine spider sees it? In other words..to a spider is

<h1>This is my heading!</h1>

and

<h1 align="center" class="heading1style">This is my heading!</h1>

The same thing ?? Thanks people!

The class here corresponds to a css style, where the heading sizes are included. For different site, the headings can be even bigger, or smaller than normal, if you use just h1, it will be the default values (which are perfectly normal and acceptable), if you use a css style to mod it.. then you have to use the second.
