<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="en">
  <title>Your title should go here</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

And use the right file =) I have several index.html in different directories. Once I edited the wrong one, and nothing changed when I pressed refresh button.

Did you make sure you put it inside the < header >< /header >?

alright to go off of what LR said, do make sure to put it in the <head></head>. Do not put it in the <header></header> Header is for the body part of the website, where as the head is where metadata is stored. It should go <html><head> and in here you put the title as well as any other metadata </head>
