Let us save our effort and just lie down and die. 
The Title page is simple - just open these folders:"DinkMasterFolder" --> "&DmodName" --> "Graphics" --> TITLE-01.BMP
Now edit the BMP to whatever you want!

Buttons and other stuff on that page is done in start.c.

What do you mean by how to end? How to exit the game?

Use kill_game() to exit, or restart_game() to go to the title screen.

Tag - Umm.. tag, you're it? 
looks like you changed the wrong one - make sure it is in the directory of YOUR dmod err unless you didn't press save after

Hmm, make sure that you replaced the default title screen (Dink Smallwood\YOURDMOD\graphics\title-01.bmp) with the new title screen. You might have accidentally saved the new title screen somewhere else, or in a different format than .bmp.

As long as the default title screen (the "your title goes here" thing) is NOT found in the graphics folder, there's no way it can show up when you play the dmod.

I object 
Deleting the old one isn't much use, it has to be replaced. If you delete it without replacing you'll probably end up with no title screen at all.

Just check the name and location again and make sure that the title screen is indeed a .bmp file. (And if it isn't 8-bits you'll also have to use true-color mode when you play your DMOD as well!)
