  • Do not include any version number in the title.
  • Use proper abbreviations if your title is longer than the allocated space.
  • Do not use all CAPITAL letters or unnecessary punctuation marks, symbols/letters, company slogans, or promotional language in the title. For example, a title such as “The best PHP Guestbook” will not be allowed.
