So you’ve just finished writing your latest blog post, full of great facts, thoughts, tips or inspiration and then it’s time to title the piece (unless you do that at the very beginning, like I often do). And more specifically, capitalising the title. How do you do it?

Following on from what I said last week I’ve noticed what is the decidedly more popular approach and that is to capitalise everything other than prepositions and conjunctions such as ‘of’ or ‘and’. To me this is no longer a satisfactory choice, why are words like ‘High’ or ‘Invites’ in capitals. They’re adjectives and verbs, they shouldn’t be capitalised.

I used to do it myself and it was always tricky deciding which words should be capitalised, sometimes it looked odd if there was a noun in the middle of the title. Even 24 Cutting Edge Rendered Conceptual Car Designs (a guest post) was a bit odd to title.

In the end I guess the third is most correct, mainly because you should capitalise the first letter of the sentence and nouns. I would still go for the second though as it has a more pleasing flow to it.

This all seems very mundane and trivial really, but that’s just the sort of detail I like to go to.
