[TYPO3-english] How to position a custom page title tag near the top of my head section?

[Harm Wester]

OK Stephen, thanks for replying.

Different SEO tools suggest that placing your <title> tag way up in your 
HTML it has some appreciable effect.

Maybe not as a major thing but I figured that since TYPO3 has this 
config.pageTitleFirst = 1 directive, there must have been a reason to 
build it into TYPO3.

Perhaps I should not worry about this anymore.
Thanks anyway,
Harm Wester
