The title tag goes within the head tag above the meta tags. Such as:

<html>
<head>
    <title>Star Wars Merchandise</title>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="description" content="Shirts and hats for fans of Star Wars."/>
</head>
<body>
    <p>Star Wars Merchandise</p>
    <p>Boba Fett Shirts</p>
    <p>Available in white; sizes S-M-L-XL</p>
    <p>Darth Maul Hat</p>
    <p>Available in black or white at <a href="http://hats.com">Hats.com</a></p>
</body>
