Step 4: Title and Basic Text Add the following to your text. 1)A dd this between your <html>and <body> tags: a)< head><title>This is my first webpage</title></head> b)T his demonstrates an important point: tags within HTML can be nested, one inside the other. For example,,head.<title>,/head>,title> is not valid HTML; you must close the title before you close the head. c)T he <head>tag is used to place information in the heading of your browser and <title> is used to place a title in the heading of the browser.
