Every web page needs a title. Why doesn't yours? One of the major tag pairs in HTML is the <title></title> tags; the title tag affects several functions of websites, from the default bookmark titles through to flashing words drawing your attention back to the site, even when in a different tab.
Things You Should Know
- Create your HTML in a program like Atom, Brackets, TextEdit, or Notepad++.
- Add the
<title>Something</title>Title Tag to your code. - Change "Something" to the title you want and save the file.
Steps
- 1Open a text editing program (or IDE) such as Atom, Brackets, or even TextEdit or Notepad++.
Create the<html>body. Using the<html>tags, create a .html file with either tag on a new line. Make sure to close the tag with</html>.Advertisement
Add the<head>section. Placing the<head>tags in between the<html>tags, define the head (metadata section) section. Make sure to close the tag with</head>.
Add the<body>section. Below the closing</head>tag and above the closing</html>tag, add the<body>(content section) tags. Make sure to close the tag with</body>.- Optionally, add some 'test' code in the body (or content) section to make sure that you've coded it correctly. If the content shows, it means that the code is parsing (loading). If not, it means that you may have made a typo or some other thing that is not letting it load.
Save your file to an easily accessible location. Name your file assomething.html, replacing something with what you wish. Remember that theindex.htmlfile is the 'home' or 'landing' page of your website.
Open your page in your preferred browser. Browsers like Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox are good for front-end website development. Go ahead and open your .html file. You can use short keys like ⌘ Cmd+O or Ctrl+O to open the file in most browsers.
Look at the top of the tab for your title. If your desired title shows, the code has loaded and worked! If not, and it shows your filename instead (something.html), you may have made a mistake; check your code for typos then try again.- 4Sit back and admire your work. You've just taken the first step to a fully functional website.
