How to write English titles?
"Saving Your Eyes in Snow Season" - that’s a topic of a piece of news on The New York Times website.
I suddenly got to know a rule of English title writing. When we write a title starting with a verb, we should plus ‘ing’ behind to convert it to a gerund. And I know, if the verb is used as passive voice, we should puls ‘ed’ to convert it to past participle.
Am I right? Do you have any suggestions about English title writing?

In the title or name of a book, a play, a poem, a film, a magazine, a newspaper or a piece of music, a capital letter is used for the first word and for every significant word (that is, a little word like the, of, and or in is not capitalized unless it is the first word) Examples:
I was terrified by The Silence of the Lambs.
The Round Tower was written by Catherine Cookson.
Bach's most famous organ piece is the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor.
I don't usually like Cher, but I do enjoy The Shoop Shoop Song.
