One of the most requested tips from our post last week, where we asked what writing tips you wanted, was an explanation of our new headline format. In December, community members may have noticed that we were using less capitalization.

First off, how do you format your title? It’s easy: Just write it like you would an ordinary sentence. Capitalize the first letter, the first letter in any proper nouns, and the first letter after the colon.

 
Hit the jump for some examples.
 

A few examples to get you started:
  1. Chasing the dream of a video-game "everyman"
  2. Sticking to your guns: Choice in the Mass Effect universe
  3. News Blips: Stellar Kinect sales, Sony's 3D headset display, eye doctors disagree with Nintendo, and more
In example #1, you will notice only one word capitalized. In the second, you will see the first letter of the title and the first letter following the colon. In the third example, you will see the same. However you will see capitalization on both words in “News Blips.” In this case, News Blips is a regular series here at Bitmob and thus becomes a proper noun.

Now that you know, start using it right away! Properly formated articles catch our eye, after all.
