Titles - You should always give your page a title.  This is very important.  This is what visitors see in the blue title bar at the top of their browser when they visit your site.  It is also what they see when they bookmark your page.  In addition, it plays an important role in how search tools index your page in their rankings.  If you want to know more, ask me.  I haven an entire lesson how how to title your page and how to maximize your title for good search engine rankings.  But for now, title your page!  To do this, go to Format, then Page Colors and Properties.  Fill in an appropriate title.  This does NOT have to be the same name you have given your file when you saved it!  It will have one name that you have saved it under (and will appear in your URL), and a separate title that will be used to title your page.

Colors - While you're at this dialogue box, click on the tab that says "Colors and Backgrounds."  Here you will have the option of changing background colors, using an image as a background, and changing the colors of your hyperlinks.  This is important when you are utilizing a color scheme throughout your site.  Can you imagine this page with red and purple links?  Yuk.  Once you've selected your color scheme, be sure to click on the button that says, "Use Custom Colors. (save colors in page)"  This way you can be sure that your visitor is seeing the colors you intended them to see!
