book, "The Agony and
Ecstasy", I read that Michael Angelo dug up graves in order to study
human anatomy in all its gory manifestation. He used to hold
internal organs in his bare hands. He came up with masterpieces.The same is true for any skill, here HTML. I do not recommend you exhume
dead to come up with good web pages, but it is necessary that you understand them inside out. You should know what tag does exactly what, how, and how it can be manipulated to do what you want to do.

Within
head tag, we store all
information that we want
browser to read first before proceeding to read
rest of
stuff, for instance,
title of
page, information about
author, meta tags (some of
meta tags causes your page to be found when
user tries to find a page like yours, through his/her preferred search engine or directory, for instance, "Description" and "Keywords" meta tags), etc. For
time being, we'll have just
Title tag here, as right now we are in no hurry to be found by all and sundry.
Although it is not within
scope of this article to tutor you on how to be search engine friendly, it is recommended you choose
words of your title after careful scrutiny. Try to include in it
words that you think
surfer might type at
search engine prompt. The search engine guys recommend that if it is your company page, then put
name of your company there.
