Can anyone explain how to change the title that appears at the top of my page? How many words can you have? I would like to add Wedding Flowers to mine. It currently reads "Funeral flowers, sympathy flowers, same day flower delivery."
 
Sue - you have to change it in the html of the page - whatever editor you used to create it - it will be the tag that I see on your code that reads:

<title>Funeral flowers, sympathy flowers, same day flower delivery</title>

I'd put your shop name and city in there too if I were you. But dn't make it too long - ideally less than 64characters, according to w3.org
 
I tried earlier tonite to put the tags in. They show up in my editor, but the change isn't shown at the top of the page. BTW, I count 58 characters right now.

I did purchase my city domains for .com, .net and .org and have them pointing to my TF site. That should help.
 
If you're editing on your home computer - they have to be published to the live server for them to show on the internet.

AFAIK, with a TF hosted site, you can't change your title tags unless TF Web Hosting does it for you.

IIRC you can email [email protected] to request the change.
 
Bloomz, Cathy or anyone else techie:

I did upload the title tags to the live server....perhaps you or someone here could look at my source page on www.theflowersmith.com and tell me how and where to put the html to change the title. (I'm my own webmaster on my .com site). :confused:
 
Sue - you now have 2 title tags and just one is better - there is one way closer to the top of the code - I see wedding flowers in your description and keywords but not in that first title tag - suggest you modify that one and delete the second one.

Your first one is found here:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document">
<meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 9">
<meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 9">
<meta name="Author" content="Susan J. Smith">
<meta name="Description" content="same day flower delivery specializing in Corporate flower arrangements, funeral flowers and wedding flowers">
<meta name="KeyWords" content="funeral flowers, sympathy flowers, same day flower delivery, steeler gift baskets, steelers memorabilia, flower delivery pittsburgh, corporate flower arrangments, wedding flowers, bridal bouquets, funeral angel afghan, reception flowers, gift reminder service, church flowers, gourmet fruit basket">
<meta http-equiv="Classification" content="funeral flowers">
<meta name="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" content="TRUE">
<meta name="rating" content="General">
<meta name="MS.LOCALE" content="EN-US">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Mozilla/4.77 [en]C-CCK-MCD NSCPCD477 (Windows NT 5.0; U) [Netscape]">
<title>Funeral flowers, sympathy flowers, same day flower delivery</title>

Your second one is down quite a bit lower in the code, after your styles are identified.
It reads thusly

<title><Funeral flowers, wedding flowers, same day flower delivery></title>

Hope this helps!
