Back to School

After noticing that a few of my headlines on this site were inconsistent with others, I decided to use exclusively glossary.html">downstyle headlines, “[a] headline style that capitalizes only the first word and proper nouns.”

This style makes sense to me. While it may not be as sensational, it is clearer and more easily understood.

Downstyle contrasts capitalizing every word in a headline, not just the first word and proper nouns. An example of this can be seen on the News-Miner’s Web site in the “Associated Press national headlines” box in the right sidebar.
