The problem is that you are probably using title tag to write something in the page like "This is my title" but the title tag is the wrong tag to use in this case. You've to use the h1 tag <h1>...<h1> to display your title in the page. Title tag is used to display the name of the window...near the favicon!

you cannot style the title of a webpage. css only allows you to style everything inside the body tag.

NO of course you can't .. cuz the web browser shows all titles in the same way and you can't change it

<title> tag goes inside the <head> tag. you can only style everything inside the <body> tag.

No because whatever you write in a title tag that is shown by the browser in title bar. That would definitely be same for all other pages too cus it's the tittle of your web page. Styling that cannot be done. U want to make test page green with background and want to display that as an information shown on your web page go for heading tag.
