How do you add a title tag to a webpart page that doesn’t have one?

Simply use Javascript (no jQuery necessary) in a Content Editor Web Part
(CEWP):

1. Go to Site Actions -> Edit Page

If Edit Page isn’t available, add the following to the URL
?PageView=Shared&ToolPaneView=2

2. Click Add a Web Part
3. Choose “Content Editor Web Part” from the All Web Parts / Miscellaneous section
4. Click Add
5. Click and drag the CEWP to the bottom of the page
6. In the CEWP, click on “open the tool pane”
7. Click the Source Editor… button
8. Paste the following code into the box:

<script type="text/javascript">
    document.title = "Your Title Here";
</script>

9. Replace Your Title Here with your title
10. Click the Save button
11. Click the + next to Layout
12. Check the box next to Hidden
13. Click the OK button

Your page now has a title on the browser skin.
