Let's Discuss Title Length

[Useless]

Go ahead - talk amongst yourselves.

To me, a free site's title should be 3-4 words. If you surf the major link lists you'll see that is a standard rule of thumb. But lately I'm seeing titles that are 6 and 7 words long. Big deal, you say. Well, it is a big deal, because those of you writing these long titles are pretty much repeating them as the description. You've spent all of your energy on a very descriptive title, now there's nothing left to say. You're losing the whole point of a title - it's not supposed to say everything. If some of you were writers, there wouldn't be any point in reading your books. Your titles would have been the entire story.

Furthermore - Capitalize the first letter of each word in the title. My Whore Wife, not My whore wife.

We may have to have an extensive series of posts just discussing my pet peeves. Trust me, I've got lots of 'em.
