HTML Tips: Titles
You can make your page stand out from the crowd using the <TITLE> command. This generates a title that appears in the header of your browser window (and when that window is minimized or you're looking at the toolbar in Windows95/98 you can see it there, too). First thing to do is to make sure that your HTML has a proper header:
Here's the minimum code you need to use the title command.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>MY TITLE</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
My Page Stuff, Pictures, Anything
</BODY>
</HTML>
Keep your title simple, short and informative. More than a few words is too much!
Bonus: Using a title improves your listing in search engines like Lycos where your title will head your listing after submission. (Otherwise the search engine just lists the URL and the first few lines or words of information on your page. Not as nice as your special title.
