Header tags are used to hold headings. Everything you want IN your heading (any text, paragraphs, links, navs, etc) will be nested between the two header tags, like so:

<header>
   <h1>This is a heading1 tag. It will have a large font-size.</h1>
  <p>You can also throw in some paragraphs, or anything you'd like really.</p>
</header>

Also, note that your closing title tag has the / in the wrong place:

<title><title/> (that's yours)
<title></title> (that's what it should look like)

There are levels of header tags, starting at the top most. The h1 tag, downwards. Generally you wont see many past h3. A header tag is made simply like this: <h1>This is my heading</h1>. If you wanted it to be a subheading, or the next heading down it would be <h2>This is my heading</h2>

Hope this helps
