Shouldn’t tutorials go under How To?
- Michael 6:03 am on March 9, 2013
  
  Sure. How To and a subcategory or just How To?
- Michael 6:10 am on March 9, 2013
  
  A brain bubble about title structure:
  
  In the WC videos we use – Speaker Name: Video Name
  
  for How To’s will – Company Name: Video Name – be allowed.
  - Jerry Bates 7:11 am on March 9, 2013
    
    In this case I think the company name is unnecessarily promotional. 🙂
  - Michael 7:14 am on March 9, 2013
    
    I agree, maybe with How To’s it should be title only.
    - Jerry Bates 7:29 am on March 9, 2013
      
      I think so.

  I’m much more a fan of keeping titles as short as possible, which means *not* adding anything. Less work for Moderators too.
  
  My only concern is that the categoryCategory The 'category' taxonomy lets you group posts / content together that share a common bond. Categories are pre-defined and broad ranging. of “How To” doesn’t show up on the site anywhere. Only Tags are visible on video pages. I’d rather find a way to show it as a metaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. (tag, category, etc.) than add it to every title on the site. It just doesn’t scale well.
