I have built my own web page using the Yahoo site builder.When I search for my site it comes up as "page title"....help

Answer 1

You need to look in the code (html, php, java) for the line that has "Page Title"



Then change it to what you want it to be.
Its there, usually at the top.

First, your pages have several names.

There is the file name where it is stored and could be "The_First_Page". Don't ask me about the underscores, but some systems don't understand blanks so I just use it as a habit.

More interesting, and that item that was mentioned by another answer to this question is the name you wish the viewer to see. And, it shows up in searches, on the address bar of the browser, and on the tab. For each page. And you can use it go great advantage. So, never have a page named "Home". "Home" always has a net name of "index.html" by iron-clad rule, but you can give it visible name like "Flora's Fantastic Fish" and that is what the public sees. And do the same for each page. "Today's Tasty Tuna". Whatever says something about the page. Another thing to exploit is the cursor text function. Anything that is graphic, including the images of nav bars, can have an "Alt text". That is the text that is displayed if you are using some wierd image format and the receiving browser cant show it. In its place, the alt text appears. But, also, when the viewer's cursor touches the image, the alt text appears at the end of the cursor, so when hitting the nav bar image that takes you to "Flora's Fantastic Fish", you can add a come-on or general comment like "Ten Tons of Tuna Here". Whatever.

For all the abilities of Sitebuilder, it hides a lot of this stuff from you and makes it difficult to impossible to fiddle with the HTML code directly. There is a piece of freeware called "Nvu" out there that is a very good WYSIWYG suite builder. Give it a try.

You also need FTP access. Firefox (free) comes with an FTP utility that is as good as they come. Then get a freeware called IconEdit32 and make up an icon for your site. Use your FTP software to save it as "favicon.ico" (all lower case and no changes) in your site's root directory (that is where you will find "index.html" stored.) Most browsers look for that when opening your site. The tiny image appears at the left end of your site name on the browser ban and on each tab for each page. Nice touch.
