Changing the Heading Font Styles

Some people quickly get tired of the default font in their blog headings.  Changing this font is quick and easy.  All one has to do is copy and paste a section of code.  There is a large variety of font types to choose from, and one must also decide whether to make your font serif or sans-serif.  Serif fonts have little tails, which make the font look more fancy.  Sans-serif fonts are more simple looking, because they do not have these little tails.  Sans-serif fonts are recommended for electronic documents, because they are easier to read.  However, serif fonts are acceptable for use in headings in order to make the document look better.  This entire process will take about 5 minutes, and  a computer with internet access is needed in order to complete this instruction set.
