The Title
You want to keep your title fairly short as it will have to fit in the bar above Netscape. On the other hand, make sure it accurately describes the contents of your page as many Web searchers use the title of pages when doing their searches. The Cameron University Index is based on the titles of all index files and you will want to create your title based on that information. If you put "Home Page - Jane Smith" your title will appear under H in the index. However, if you put "Jane Smith's Home Page," it will appear under J.
Congratulations!
You have a page now. Save your Notepad file with an

html extension (e.g. filename.html). If you want, you can go up to File in Netscape, select Open page , and type in your full filename (include the directory and drive) to see your page (or just click on browse and navigate to your page). To return to this page, click on the back button in Netscape.

Cameron index program works. If you were to put a space before your title, your title would appear in a column all of its own before the A's. (Obviously, if you are not going to put your page on Cameron University's webserver, you don't have to worry about the spaces.) <BODY>, </BODY> This command will surround the bulk of your document. Similar to the HEAD command, the BODY command simply indicates to Netscape to place the information inside the window. (Whereas the HEAD command tells Netscape to place the information in the title bar.) <H1>,</H1> H stands for header. HTML uses six different sizes of headers with the smallest number being the largest type. More than likely you will want your first header to be the same as your title. However, if you want something else here, feel free to go back into your Notepad file and change it to whatever you wish. For example, my header is simply The Title whereas my title is Creating a Title. Headers are automatically sized and bolded. Here are examples of the sizes of headers available.
<H1>Header 1</H1>
<H2>Header 2</H2>
<H3>Header 3</H3>
<H4>Header 4</H4>
<H5>Header 5</H5>
<H6>Header 6</H6>
