Unlock the Power of Perfect Titles with My Title Capitalizer Tool

As someone who frequently juggles numerous projects, I'm always on the lookout for fun and useful tools to create in a day or two. One of the tools I found myself regularly using was a title capitalizer. It’s a small but mighty tool that ensures the titles and headlines of my blog posts, articles, and other content look polished and professional. Frustrated by some limitations in the tools available, I decided to build my own: Title Capitalizer.

The Birth of Title Capitalizer

The idea behind Title Capitalizer came from my own needs and the realization that I could enhance the functionality of existing tools. I wanted a tool that was easy to use, fast, and provided various capitalization styles to suit different writing contexts. Thus, the Title Capitalizer was born, a handy online tool designed to give you the perfect capitalization style for your titles every time.

Diverse Capitalization Styles

Title Capitalizer supports an array of capitalization styles, making it versatile for any content creator's needs:

• APA: Follow the capitalization rules set by the American Psychological Association.
• CMS: Adhere to the capitalization guidelines of the Chicago Manual of Style.
• AP: Apply the capitalization rules from the Associated Press Stylebook.
• MLA: Utilize the title capitalization standards of the Modern Language Association Handbook.
• BB: Implement the capitalization rules outlined in the Bluebook 21st Edition.
• AMA: Use the capitalization guidelines provided by the American Medical Association Manual of Style.
• NY Times: Capitalize titles according to the New York Times style guidelines.
• Wikipedia: Follow Wikipedia's specific capitalization rules.
• Email: Ensure proper capitalization for email subjects and headings.

Various Capitalization Options

In addition to the specific styles, Title Capitalizer offers several capitalization options for different purposes:

• Title Case: Capitalizes the first letter of each major word, ideal for headlines and titles.
• Sentence Case: Capitalizes only the first letter of the first word, perfect for sentences.
• Uppercase: Transforms all letters to uppercase, useful for emphasis or attention-grabbing headlines.
• Lowercase: Converts all letters to lowercase, great for casual or informal content.
• First Letter: Capitalizes only the first letter of the entire text, adding a subtle touch of emphasis.
• Alt Case: Alternates between uppercase and lowercase letters, creating a quirky and unique effect.
• Toggle Case: Switches the case of each letter, offering a playful twist to your text.

Launch and Reception

I was thrilled to launch Title Capitalizer on Product Hunt, where it garnered over 10 upvotes! While it might seem modest, this was my most successful product launch to date, surpassing my first launch. The positive reception reinforced my belief in the tool's utility and the value it offers to content creators like myself.

Expanding Horizons: The Bludit Plugin

Taking things a step further, I decided to "port" the Title Capitalizer into a plugin for Bludit, a simple yet powerful flat-file CMS. This plugin is free to download and seamlessly integrates the title capitalization functionality into the Bludit platform, making it even more accessible to users. You can find more information and download the plugin over on BluditLab.

Behind the Books: Introducing VIP Reads, Your Gateway to Celebrity Bookshelves

Over the past few months, I've been on the lookout for simple, quick-to-launch website ideas that could also potentially generate some income. Recently, I found an intriguing concept that I couldn't wait to start working on.

Introducing VIP Reads—a platform that showcases a list of distinguished personalities and their favorite books. This allows users to discover the literary inspirations behind some of the most influential figures.

The inspiration for VIP Reads came from a similar, albeit underdeveloped, website I saw linked in a Reddit post. While the concept was appealing, the site’s design was lackluster, and it featured only a handful of celebrities. Seeing the potential, I decided to create a more polished version, aiming to feature 20-30 prominent figures within the next few weeks.

As of now, I’ve prepared a database of 25 VIPs and have started the process of cataloging their book preferences, planning to release 1-2 VIPs daily. Although this task is somewhat time-consuming, I’ve managed to significantly streamline it. Currently, the site features four well-known personalities: Barack Obama, Elon Musk, LeBron James, and Naval Ravikant.

VIP Reads generates revenue through Amazon Affiliate links, which direct users to purchase books on Amazon. My goal is to attract substantial traffic to the site and, hopefully, earn meaningful referral commissions. Once the initial setup is complete, I plan to periodically update the site while mainly allowing it to grow organically through search engine visibility.

I'm thrilled with the progress so far and eager to fully launch VIP Reads. If there’s a VIP you admire and would like to see featured sooner, send me a message, and I’ll prioritize their addition!

Michigan Marijuana News: Crafting a Cannabis-Informed Community

Since my last update, there's been a new development I'm eager to share. While browsing through our local cannabis community on /r/Michigents, I stumbled upon several news articles about Michigan's marijuana scene. Some lacked depth, others seemed hastily written, and a few even emanated an untrustworthy aura. It struck me that Michigan deserved better, and thus, the idea for Michigan Marijuana News was born.

Michigan Marijuana News aims to be the premier source for cannabis news, culture, and updates in the Great Lake State. As a fervent supporter and enjoyer of cannabis, I felt an intrinsic pull to ensure my fellow Michiganders received not just news, but accurate, reliable, and well-researched information.

I'm thrilled to report that the initial setup of the website was swift, spanning just two days, social media pages included. I owe much of this efficiency to Bludit, the CMS I utilized. For those unfamiliar, Bludit is an open-source web application designed for quick website or blog creation. It uses JSON files for content storage, eliminating the need for any database installation or configuration. It's the same CMS that powers this blog, and while it might have its quirks, it's grown on me.

Currently, Michigan Marijuana News boasts twenty articles, averaging about four daily. As much as I've relished diving into each news piece, I've almost caught up with the recent events of the past fortnight. Now, my routine involves keeping an eagle eye on search engines, ensuring I stay abreast of fresh updates hourly. My vision? To be a respected and trustworthy beacon for all cannabis enthusiasts in Michigan.

This might be my first foray into the world of cannabis projects, but who's to say what the future holds? As someone deeply passionate about the myriad benefits of marijuana and the imperative for genuine information, this feels like just the beginning. Here's to cultivating a well-informed cannabis community in Michigan!

Vue or PHP, Practice or Familiarity?

I find myself at a crossroads with my recent Worldstone.io website. While the site has been thriving and closely aligns with the majority of my initial projections, it stumbles in one critical area—search engine optimization (SEO).

I'm still adapting to the dynamic landscape of JavaScript, having been weaned on the simplicity of its older versions, and maybe a bit of jQuery. The more contemporary variations, Node and Vue, are still novel concepts for me. Over the past few years, I embarked on a self-teaching journey, starting with Node as a backend for a game project I've been tinkering with. Subsequently, I delved into Vue, aiming for an efficient frontend for the game. Naturally, I presumed this new endeavor would broaden my proficiency in Vue. Alas, it's been a detour rather than a direct route.

I've experienced an unforeseen regression, despite the overall performance of the website. The stumble lies primarily in the SEO department. It escaped my foresight that Single Page Applications (SPAs), by their very nature, aren't SEO-friendly since they're precisely that—a single page. This configuration eliminates the ability to update the page's title and meta information as with conventional web pages. Consequently, social platforms (like Facebook, Twitter, Reddit) struggle to extract accurate information from your page.

Well, that's a tough pill to swallow...

And now, I face a dilemma: do I persist, embracing a new system like Nuxt3 to achieve my objectives? Or do I retreat to the comfort of my established PHP ways? I find myself inching towards the latter, but with a contemporary twist—incorporating advanced frameworks. I have traditionally been a stripped-down PHP programmer, handling everything from scratch. But perhaps it's time to acquaint myself with emerging technologies, Laravel, for instance.

Regardless of the path chosen, rest assured, I'll share an update soon. I'm eager to enhance the site's aesthetics, zeroing in on the ideal layout. So, here's to a journey of refinement and progress!

Delving Deeper into Diablo with Worldstone.io

Over the past week, I've embarked on an exciting new venture: a fansite dedicated to the expansive universe of the Diablo video game series. With previous experience under my belt as the creator of an official Diablo III fansite, I feel a strong affinity for this project. The recent buzz surrounding the game's launch sparked a longing in me to rejoin this vibrant community.

The first order of business was to choose an enduring moniker for my site. My previous platform went by "D3Sanc," an abbreviation for "Diablo 3 Sanctuary." This name resonated with the game's lore, as Sanctuary is the in-game equivalent of Earth. Despite suggestions from loyal followers to simply transition to "D4Sanc," I sought a name that would withstand the test of time. The new site is not intended for a single game, but for all future Diablo games. (I must confess that I neither have the inclination nor the intention to retrofit the site for past games.)

After countless hours spent probing domain availability, I finally settled on a name: Worldstone.io

The Worldstone. It was the power of creation and the birth of our Eternal Conflict. From the High Heavens to the Burning Hells, our desire to control that power poisoned its very nature. And so… I gave my life to destroy it. — Tyrael

I've already made headway on the website, with several sections nearing completion. I anticipate that the website will remain a work-in-progress for approximately the next month. After that, I'll be ready to tackle the next intriguing project that comes my way. Admittedly, I've found myself losing interest in playing Diablo IV recently. The leveling process has plateaued, and my character seems to diminish in strength as I advance. On the bright side, this development has freed up considerable time for me to devote to Worldstone.io!

---

For those unfamiliar with the rich lore of the Diablo franchise, let's shed some light on the pivotal role and significance of the Worldstone:

The Worldstone, also known as the "Eye of Anu," "Heart of Creation," and "Heart of the World," is a colossal, mountain-sized object of immense power within the Diablo universe. It was sought by both angels and demons, and was used to create the world of Sanctuary before being destroyed as a result of the Great Conflict. Despite its importance, few inhabitants of Sanctuary are aware of its existence​.

Possessing infinite power, the Worldstone had the ability to shape entire realities or unmake worlds with but a thought. Anything that came into contact with it, even its shards, was altered. The Worldstone itself could be damaged only by exceptionally powerful weapons, such as the blade of an archangel. Even fragments of the Worldstone, such as the soulstones, the Fragment of Destiny, and Blood Shards, possess immense power​.

The Eye of Anu originally lay in the realm of Pandemonium, the scar of the universe's violent birth from the battle between Anu and Tathamet. It was the foundation of all places and times, a nexus of realities. The Worldstone was discovered by the angel Malthael, who named it the Worldstone and swore all of Heaven to protect it. Both Heaven and Hell sought control over the Worldstone, and their desire to control its power ended up poisoning and altering its original nature​.

During the Great Conflict, a group of angels and demons led by the angel Inarius and the demon Lilith grew tired of the endless war and desired a place away from the conflict. They gained access to the Worldstone and used its power to conceal it from the angels and demons still fighting in the Eternal Conflict. They shifted the Worldstone into a pocket dimension and shaped a world around it, which they called Sanctuary. Inarius shaped Mount Arreat as a protective shell around the Worldstone​.

However, the Worldstone's immense power drew the attention of Heaven and Hell, leading to a fierce struggle for control. The escalating conflict began to corrupt the Worldstone, prompting the archangel Tyrael to make a difficult choice. In a selfless act, Tyrael chose to destroy the Worldstone to prevent it from causing further harm. He wielded his archangelic blade, one of the few weapons powerful enough to damage the Worldstone, and shattered it. The destruction of the Worldstone caused a massive explosion that reshaped the landscape of Sanctuary and sent shards of the stone scattering across the world.

Even in its fragmented state, the Worldstone continues to influence the Diablo universe. Each shard retains a fraction of the Worldstone's immense power, capable of causing sudden and violent changes to the landscape. Despite its destruction, the legacy of the Worldstone lives on, forever imprinted on the world it helped create. Its memory serves as a reminder of the great power and the potential peril that can come from the forces of creation and destruction.
