Titles... and Titles

Before the <Title> tag you should have a <HEAD> tag. This tag says that the information following it is in the HEAD of the document.

The Title is a very important part of every HTML document because it labels the document for the user, and for hotlists and bookmarks. On most WWW browsers you will find that the Title is shown in a separate space from the document. The title is easy to add and should be one of the first things in an HTML document. The Title text should be descriptive of the contents of the document.

example:
<html>
<title>Testing Titles</title>

This will place the text "Testing Titles" in the Title space on your HTML browser.
</html>

A Formatted Version of this Text

After the Title tag be sure to end the head of the document with the </HEAD> tag. Remember that since the Title can not be seen in your document you may wish to repeat it by placing it as a header at the beginning of your file. The header will appear in the Body of the document. What else goes into the Body of the document? Let's find out!
