Page Title

In general usage, the Page Title may refer to one of two things:

The text that is between the <title></title> tags in the HTML code. On this web site, we will refer to this as the title tag text.
The text displayed in Navigation View, which FrontPage uses when generating Page Banners or Link Bar text. On this web site, we will refer to this as the Page Title.

The Page Title should be distinguished from the File Name of a page, which is what displays in the Folder List.

What may get confusing is that in Navigation View, the text displayed on each page is the Page Title. However, in Folders View, the "Page Title" referenced there will actually change the title tag text.

On some occasions, you may wish to have the title tag text different from the Page Title. For example, the title tag text is usually used by search engines when indexing your page, so you may want a longer description in your title tag text. However, the area for your link bars may be limited, and you may wish to keep the Page Title short. In general, changing the Page Title in Navigation View will also change the title tag text. However, you may then switch to HTML View or Code View and manually type in your own title tag text. (Note - you may also switch to Folders View and change the "Page Title" there.)
