<head> Tag

This tag indicates that the items between the opening and closing tags are a prologue to the rest of the document. The <title> tags always appear between the opening and closing <head> tags. The <head> section also contains advanced features such as scripting calls and style sheet specifications.

You need to use both an opening and a closing tag:

<head> - opening tag
</head> - closing tag
