Getting Started with HTML - How to Build a Home on the Web

by: Marty Beall

Okay, now let's add the HEAD and TITLE tags. The HEAD tag should always be placed under the HTML tag The HEAD tag is where you put the TITLE tag and the BASE tag. For now we're not going to use the BASE tag since it's not needed, perhaps we'll discuss it in another lesson. The TITLE tag is exactly what it says, it's where the title of your web page is going to go. Be creative with the title, after all the title is the first thing people look at.

So, all together you have:
-------------------------------------- New Document-------------------------------------------------

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> This is Where your Title Goes </TITLE>
</HEAD>
-------------------------------------- New Document-------------------------------------------------

Notice how the other HEAD and TITLE tags have a slash "/" in them, this means to end that tag. Most HTML tags end with a slash in them.
