HTML code starts with <HTML> tag and close with </HTML>. It is not required but prefer to use them.
HTML codes consist of two parts: <head> and <body>. Between <head>…</head> tags, we keep the general information about our WEB site and some features. This part is never presented to user but it affects the WEB site content indirectly. At the coming article More About HEADs , you can find detailed information about it. Between <body>..</body> tags we put the face of your WEB page.

About <head> tag, you should know just <title> tag for now. Between <title>…</title> tags, we type the our WEB page title. Open the filename.HTML which you saved before and type the <title> My WEB Site Title</title> and save it. Now open your HTML file and you will see your title on the top of the internet browse.
