    I use #1 except just like most titles I do not capitalize words like to, of, the, and, etc.... Just capitalize the important words not filler words.

    I always go with option 1) but with a slight variation - the important words begin with a capital letter much the same as they would when you write a book title or similar.

    Eg: How to Write the Blog Post Titles?

    It always works incredibly well for me and a lot of my posts appear on page 1 of Google for my chosen search term. For example - I just wrote a post about a girl called Lydia Playfoot who is taking legal action against her school in the UK. If you Google her name you now find my post in the top 5 even though many online news sites have also covered it.

    Concern yourself not with the appearence of the title but the words in it - that's the crucially important factor.
