How to Add a Title to a Web Page Using Netscape Composer

Add a title to your Web page using Netscape Composer, a free, simple Web design program included in the Netscape Communicator package. The Web page title is displayed in browser title bars; search engines also display it.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Netscape Composer

1. Start Composer and choose Open from the File menu. Locate the page you want and double-click to open it.

2. Choose Format from the File menu and click on Page Colors and Properties.

3. Click on the General tab and place the cursor in the Title box. Type the name of the page, the author and a description of the page in the appropriate boxes.

4. Save the file and click on the Preview button to view it in the Netscape Navigator browser. The title will be located on the upper title bar, above the menu bar.

Tips & Warnings

• Use a title that is quick and easy to read. Because some search engines only use the first several words in a title, be sure to include the name of the business or page. To stand out from the personal home page crowd, don't use exclamation points or all caps and avoid florid sentiments. ("Simple Vegetarian Recipes - from Soups to Desserts" is probably a better title than "The BEST Veg Recipes in the WORLD!!!")
• Titles over 10 words may not display properly.
