The area between the opening <> and closing head tags is known as the Head Section of an HTML document. One thing to remember about this section of your page. There is nothing that you put here that will be visible on your page. The Head Section contains the information about the web page that the browser needs to know. The Head Section usually contains the Title of the page. Meta tags and maybe some Javascript. You don't need to know what these things are now. You'll learn about them soon enough. What you do need to remember is where to place, between the proper tags, the different elements that make up a page.
The Title Tags
The Title of the page is contained within the Head section:
My First Webpage
Remember your Title will not be visible on your page because it is placed between the Head tags. This is again information about your page that a browser needs to know. If you look down in the text bar at the bottom of your screen the Title will be visible there.
The Body Tags
I mentioned before that the Head section contains information about the webpage. The Body section contains the actual content of the page. Between the Body tags you will place all of your text, images, sounds and links to other pages.
The Title is Invisible ?
Yes, your Title is invisible and no one will ever see it. Don't despair, I wouldn't have you do all this work for nothing. We use the Heading tag at the top of a page. Go back up to the top of this page. Where it says Lesson 3, that's a heading. These are what Heading tags look like:
<h1>Lesson 3</h1>
<h2>Lesson 3</h2>
<h3>Lesson 3</h3>
<h4>Lesson 3</h4>
<h5>Lesson 3</h5>
<h6>Lesson 3</h6>
As you can see there are six different sizes for headings. You can use whichever one you desire. One more thing that you need to know about headings. You can place the heading to the left side, the center or the right side of your page. You are telling the browser where you want to align the heading. If you want it on the left you do nothing special. Just type in the heading size. The heading will automaticaly default to the left side of the page. If you want it in the center you tell the browser by entering <h1 align=center></h1> and if you wanted to align it to the right you would enter <h1 align=right></h1>
