The HTML title tag has 3 main uses (outside of the functionality of rssFeedFolder):
 1. Most web browsers display the title of the page right at the very top of the window. Whilst most people don't really read it up there, when the window is minimized (or iconized), it comes in very handy to know which page you are about to return to the screen.
2. Web browsers use the title as the title of each tab when working in "tabbed mode".
3. Practically every search engine, if not all, use the title tag as part of their criteria for determining what your page is actually about - e.g. if your title says something like "mydomain news", the search engines have a pretty good idea right from the start that your page is indeed about news information for mydomain.
The rssFeedFolder program reads the TITLE tag and uses it as the short name for the page. This short name can also be thought of as the title of the RSS feed page.
So, now we know what we want and why, how do we actually implement it.
Well if you are writing the HTML yourself by hand the syntax is as follows:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Your title text goes here</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
...
</BODY>
</HTML>

And if you are using a program to develop your web site (such as Frontpage), the best way to find out how to do it is to use your favorite search engine to lookup instructions:
e.g. Search for the words "title tag" and the name of the program you are using to generate your web pages, such as a title tag frontpage search on google
