Hello the title element is what you will see in the top of your browser when looking at the website and what search engines will put as the site's name. The <title> should go inside of the head element. an example of how a title element could be would look like <title>Example's website</title> i hope this helped you

Further to this and for example, this page's title is "what is a title element | Treehouse Community". You can see that in the tab for this page in your browser. If you view the source of this page (press Ctrl and U) then you can see this in the code on line 4 with the <title> tag being used.
