Re: Site always shows as untitled

Your web page does have a title. It's just not done quite right. While the "head" structure contains some HTML constructs, it is not intended to respond to all HTML constructs. The "head" structure is not suppose to display in a browser and does not support any of the HTML display elements. Things line "centering" and "font color" settings can not be used. Below is the first couple of lines from your web page. The highlighted code is incorrect.

Code:

<html>

<head>

<span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="color: red;"><center></span></span>

<title> <span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="color: red;"><font color="#ff0000"></span></span>SO YOU LIKE POKER<span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="color: red;"></font></span></span></title>

<span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="color: red;"></center</span></span>

</head>

If you remove all the useless code, your "head" section should look like this. The title doesn't get any fancier than that, unless you want to add Javascript for a scrolling title.

Code:

<html>

<head>

<title>SO YOU LIKE POKER</title>

</head>

There are other HTML constructs, like metatags, CSS/Javascript links, and favorite icon specifications that can go in the "head" structure.
