What Is Title Capitalization?

Title capitalization means capitalizing the important words in a title while leaving certain minor words lowercase when they appear in the middle.

After: A Guide to Writing for the Web

The first and last words are capitalized. Common articles, conjunctions, and prepositions may remain lowercase between them.
