The title tag for page titles

The <title> tag is an additional element that is located inside <head>. You can use this tag to assign the page title, which is displayed in browser tabs:

Here is an example of how <title> is used in code:

<head>
  <title>Courses — HTML Academy</title>
</head>

The text in <title> is intended to provide an overall description of the contents of the document. The title should make it clear what this page is about, even when it is not open in the browser, since the title is displayed in search engine results or in browser bookmarks.

Let’s give our page an appropriate name. You will see how the page title changes at the top of the mini-browser.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <!-- Add the title here --> <link rel="stylesheet" href="outlines.css"> </head> <body> Greetings to everyone! Welcome to my first site. Up until just recently I had no idea what a coder does for a living, but now I have found interactive courses in HTML and CSS and I have set myself the goal of becoming one. I even was assigned an instructor, Muffin, who does not allow me to slack off and will track my progress. My first assignment is to keep a diary and honestly write about all of my accomplishments. </body> </html>
