Aspara GusI wouldn’t capitalize about.

I would capitalize it. A text I used for teaching high school students suggests that "short prepositions" (unless they are the first or last word) are not capitalized in titles. An example of capitalized preposition: Much Ado About Nothing.

As Clive said, capitalization rules for titles are fairly lenient, so I would not mark a capitalized about as wrong. It’s just my preference not to capitalize prepositions in titles period, regardless of length. Similarly, I always use a comma after introductory elements, no matter how brief. I believe in a consistent style is all.
