A lot of sites have latest news - sometimes it's called just news.

And the latest news is from April last year. Or April 2006.

A problem and a symptom

The problem is the message it sends to site visitors:

• Old
• Stale
• Unloved

Like those old copies of "Womens Weekly" lying around at the dentist's.

Worse than that it's a symptom of the website itself being old and stale and unloved. A one-off project completed in ... 2006.

The solution

The quick solution is to scrap the latest news pages, and remove any links.

Nobody will miss them.
