How to Set a Title in HTML

Rate: (0 Ratings)

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.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • HTML or text file editor

Set the Title

Step1
Open the program you're using to edit your web page and position the cursor on the line immediately after the tag.
Step2
Type the following:
This is my title
Step3
Replace the "This is my title" with the text you want to display as a title.

Tips & Warnings

  • Whatever you set as your title will be displayed in the blue title bar of your page's window.
  • Unlike many other HTML elements, the title needs to go in a specific place, within the section of the page, not the section.
  • Only create one title per web page. It doesn't make sense to create more than one.
