How to Set a Title in HTML

It's important to set a title for any web page to give it a finished, professional look. The title also helps search engines find your page and bring it to people's attention. You can set a title in HTML simply by putting "tags" on either side of the text you want to transform.

• Only create one title per web page. It doesn't make sense to create more than one.
