The title tag does exactly what the name indicates: It defines the title of the specific page. In most browsers, the text of the title tag is shown in the caption bar of the browser, and even more importantly: A lot of search engines takes the content of your title tag into consideration when indexing your page. It's extremely easy to use:

<title>This is the title of my webpage</title>

The title tag should always be within the head section of your document.
