Website creation help required

This is my index.html code.  Can anyone tell me if I need head and body tags and where to put them.  Also, do I need to put title and meta tags in the subdirectories (description, discography, frontpage)  

















Also, when I type "simon teague" in Google, it only finds my discography page even though all the pages are preceded by simon.teague  Why?

Cheers.

OK, thanks for the advice.  We seem to have some conflicting views on where the BODY tags should be, or if they should be there at all.  Index now looks like this-








Snacks - Simon Teague, Firass Sumrein, Tom Downes, Emma Teague, Nik Minas, Liz Lloyd.   South Wales Metal / Ambient Supergroup










It was useful to know that text in the index body would not show up in the end result, I was wary of including it in case it looked crap.
The end result is here -

Time will tell if the search engines respond better.

Thanks

Do I need a BODY at all?  I have nothing to put in it, so would




be required, or could I just leave it out?  A head without a body sounds bad...

Also theres the question of whether or not to put the META stuff in the subdirectories.

Excellent, all the answers I wanted are here, and I hope it is reflected in the site.  I am not going to cut n' paste, as it would then not be "mine", but great tips from great minds.  Cheers!
