    Hi Sebastian,

    I just wanted to ask a quick question please.

    If I wanted to have the page title change to a different title for each page how can this be done using the same page structure as in the tutorials?

    Thank you

    Hi Qaysar,
    To do this, you would have to create a variable on each page. This variable would store value of the title tag, then in the header simply echo this variable - that will display the relevant title on each page.
