Is 2006 really news today?
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.
