Viewing How to Display Page Title?

How to Display Page Title?



User: Richard S. 9 years ago
I see on the page panel there is a place to put in the page title. I've done that for all the pages, but I don't see them displayed in the browser.
I also cannot place a text box inside the header. I'd like to see the page title in the space occupied by the page header.

When I title a page it shows on the tab that is open. Right now this tab says Viewing How to Display Page Title? - Everweb. My other tab is a test site and says MvGoOgLe.
To place a text box in the Header - make a Text box, select it so it has the squares around it, in Inspector tab where you can change the size of the box and its position- where the position is check the box next to Allow Free Dragging, drag box to Header, uncheck Free Drag box. You might be able to command and drag it in or control and drag it in. I check the box and uncheck it so it doesn't come out.

Also about the Title. Make sure you lear your cache in browser or when on page reload it a couple times and Title might appear.

I ended up doing away with the header and putting the title in myself. So is Everweb supposed to automatically display the page title in the header?

The <title> tag is required in the head of every HTML document and appears in the browser toolbar. If you don’t include the title, the document won’t validate.

The title is essential for SEO since it should contain the keywords that introduce the content of the page. The title is used for the “heading” in search engine results and bookmarks.

The header element is a container for the content which appears on every page and includes the website name as an h1 heading, navigation and logo.

The page name should be inserted as the first item in the content area as an h2 heading. Note that the page name is NOT the title. Placing the page name in a standard text box is completely useless for SEO and leaving the title tag empty is a disaster!

Although EverWeb creates the HTML doc for us, it’s easy to create errors if you don’t have an understanding of basic HTML page layout. Beginners tend to confuse the head, header and heading. It is also important to have a basic knowledge of how to use HTML headings to create hierarchy in the page document.

If you really want your site to perform well in the search engines then consider moving on to HTML5.

What I meant by "doing away" with header is that I reduced the size to 0, so I don't expect Everweb to delete the metadata. The title is entered on the page inspector. I'd just like to see it displayed at the top of my page.
User: Roddy 9 years ago
When you reduce the header to zero you still have an empty <header></header> tag in the HTML doc which causes a syntax error. If nothing else, the header should contain the <h1>Heading</h1> which is usually the website name.

You cannot have a "title" in the body of an HTML doc. You are confusing "title" with page "name". The page name should be contained in an <h2>Page Name</h2> tag.

The whole point of using something like Everweb is to not have to code html. So using Everweb how do I get the name of the page I'm on at the top? Should be super simple so I must be missing something on how Everweb works. I guess I caused confusion by saying I don't have a header, I meant I have no top margin.
User: James G. 9 years ago
The inspector says no margin when you create a page, but if you put an item on the page and drag it to top you will see a blue line you cannot go past.

Do you mean having the name at the top of each page? On the actual page? Like if a site were called Joe's Shrimp Shack, if you want that at the top of each page, create a Master Page and it works like a template and any pages you say to follow it all look the same as far as a template goes.

Hope that helps

Command-Drag.

Or set the checkmark in the inspector to free-float the object.

When you drag an object to the head section you'll see a tool tip that advises you to hold down the command key to get the object in there.

Or set the object to free drag from the metrics inspector.
