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.

Instructions

Set the Title
- 1
  
  Open the program you're using to edit your web page and position the cursor on the line immediately after the tag.
- 2
  
  Type the following:
  This is my title
- 3
  
  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.
