I heavily use keywords, and wondering what I should be including in the image Title, if anything.

That's what I have been planning for.When Christie's puts your image up for auction for a half million dollars, The title is how it is listed in the brochure ...
What Cletus said. For me, shooting events, the title is mostly the event (e.g. FGCU vs Auburn Soccer 8/25/2019), the caption is something I want to say or describe about the photo. For those doing more serious sports shooting the caption would include the players names, numbers, perhaps a historical note (e.g. school prior), etc. I've seen people's captions run on for long paragraphs.
Sadly the comment from Conrad is very relevant. For example, Smugmug's new lightbox, unlike the prior, shows the title only and not the caption, which made it really pointless for my use as all the titles in a gallery were (generally) the same. Though enough people complained they are reconsidering. But if you have a use planned on specific site(s), check their display before deciding how to code.
Please don't take this the wrong way but how would we know?Good information everyone. Now, if I am a casual shooter (no publishing, no posting to online services, no selling images for $500k), do I even need to bother using the title?
but what do you DO with images?
I think Titles and Captions quite important for my use. I have insect photos going back over more than 10 years. A Keyword search may pull up the image of a particular insect, but Without the Title or Caption, is is often difficult remembering details after a long time has passed.Good information everyone. Now, if I am a casual shooter (no publishing, no posting to online services, no selling images for $500k), do I even need to bother using the title?
