To me it doesn’t matter in search engines, first letter capitalized or not. But in real grammar, I think it should, just like you see in reputable newspapers and magazines.

I just use the official Google blog as a reference for convention, which presents yet a third choice:

Basically they use sentence capitalization rules, only first word and proper names capitalized. I think it looks better too, it seems more classy and subdued.

I have always capitalized every article I publish, it just doesn’t look right when the words don’t start with a capital letter. Don’t think it matter either way with the search engines though in terms of SEO.

Periodic – Haha, that would be fun to see but also disastrous for many of us.

I’m still trying to figure out the ‘correct’ answer to the title capitalization issue though, as well as proper SEO use of capitalization in tags and categories in WordPress. Any help there would be greatly appreciated as well!

Great write-up. I’ve always wondered about blog posts being capitalized or not. Wouldn’t it be interesting if Google started ranking sites based on gramatical correctness?

Kristen, thanks for stopping by Word Sell. Seems like you’ve developed your own set of rules might make an interesting post. If nothing else, this conversation shows that for blog grammar, there is no definitive set of rules.

I generally capitalize anything with 4 or more letters, including prepositions. And verbs are capitalized regardless of length. First and last word always capped. Use numerals instead of writing out numbers. Cap all parts of a hyphenated word. Cap the first word after a colon.

Combo of grammar rules on title case and marketing tricks to grab attention.

Sorry to be late in the game!
