Firstly, there are several errors in your HTML, which should be fixed first:

<div id="header">
    <!-- needs a closing </a> tag and some text, as well as a full href -->
    <a href="http://google.com"></a>
    <!-- what is your reason for using an LI element here? -->
    <h1><li><a href="#" class="navLink">EXAMPLE LINK</a></li></h1>
</div>

As far as styling, you can use CSS, like so:

h1 {
    color: red;
    font-size: 5em;
    text-decoration: underline;
}

/* etc. */

Search Google for basic CSS tutorials. Once you've decided which styles you would like to apply, simply save your text document as something like "style.css", and add a LINK element to the header of your HTML file (this will allow you to use it as an external stylesheet.):

<head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
</head>

There are other methods for applying styles, such as inline styling, etc., but the above is one of the more typical ways of going about doing it.

Here is a jsfiddle

You specify a stylesheet with:

<link href="<path>/site.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

where <path> is the path to the stylesheet and Site.css is the name of your stylesheet. This is normally in <head>.

You do this either with an inline style or a style section in your page or in a style file. I wasn't sure if you wanted to format the a as well. Also, I wasn't sure if you want to style the header div or h1. If you want to style h1, then replace #header with h1 in css.
