Hi Joy.

If you're referring to the title on a blank page as supplied by web
software from a web hosting service, likely the image in the page
title (if I understand correctly) is part of the HTML (or equivilant
code) that was written into the pages supplied by the web hosting
service.

I use iWeb software. From there I publish to .mac iWeb comes with
predesigned web page templates. I'm sure that Apple (they wrote iWeb)
could have added any number of things to the template. I simply supply
the other content.

I have tried HTML. I would imagine that one could add whatever they
want to the title of a page in HTML or ? (XHTML ??)

Try viewing the page "source" (under "View" or eq.) If you can find
the word "Title" below it you should be able to find the code that
specifies what is contained in the page title.

Cheers,

Neil.
