    Cool Giving "Index" a title

    Hi Folks,
    I'm sure I could look this up somewhere but it could takle me a month of Sundays!
    When people save my home page to their "favourites" it comes up as "index" instead of the website address.
    It obviously works and directs them to my site but how do I give it a title so that when they save it to their favourites it shows as "My Site"?
    Best Regards.

    When you save a webpage to favourites it uses the <title> tage in the pages code as the page title for the favourite.

    If you right-click your index page and click "View Source" then look in the top of that HTML code you will see a <title> tag. So it will probably look like this:

    Code:
    <title> Index </title>
    So simply edit the text within that Tag to whatever you want it to say.

    If you find there is no <title> tag present then add <title>Your webpage name</title> immediately after the <head> tag.

    To edit the index page simply right-click and open it in Wordpad, edit then save and reupload to your webspace.

    Excellent!
    Many thanks.
    All sorted. I hadn't previously looked at the page in "HTML code" mode, so a whole new ball-game to try out now.
    Thanks again.
