52% thinks 'it makes the site stand out', I chose 'It is associated with

Hi,

Hopefully this is anew one for the list - kind of in two parts and the
First being CSS based the second not so much :)

1. Can I use text-transform on the <Title>'this' to 'THIS'</title>

2. And what I really want to know, sneaky, is can I make it so the my
URL always appears in caps? I have emw8.com and I just think it looks
Stupid with the 8 sticking up, when really it's the part of the URL I
Don't like. I'd much prefer WWW.EMW8.COM. Is there anyway to control
This, does it effect SEO at all?



So is there a way to block capitals in mail apps, or cloud apps?
I wouldn't spam anyone - just newsletter to subscribers and customers that have already contacted me. For mail it could work lowercase anyway - it's more to do with standing out - the logo is very much in caps - with EMW being the same shape just rotated and the '8' in the background reinforcing this loop, unity idea. Branding is key and I don't want to use lowercase for the company name at all - and I thought that if the URL auto to caps that would be quite a new approach to brand consistency.

Well, I just tried going to a number of well-known sites (IBM, Apple, and your famous EMW8). I found the all uppercase URL annoying to type.

Regardless of case that I typed in, it went to the same site.

I seem to recall that URLs are not case sensitive? Or it might depend on browser and web server platform - IIRC, Windows IIS is case-sensitive, Apache on Linux is not.

Anyway, I don't think CSS can change case of the <title> tag contents. Did you try it?

Failing that, you could do it programatically in the backend, I suppose.
