I meant article date. Some writes hide the date so it is not obvious when the site has been updated (there are ways to get around that). You see how in the comments here the date you posted the comment is under the name? We don't require a specific placement for the date but viewers like to know how old an article is. For archives, thing about how a reader looking for information would find what they are looking for. Most sites have an archives page that has option of looking by date and/or category. Another popular method is the drop down menu (or links) in the sidebar. Tags are not required but readers like tags. For example, a site owner would have the category Technology and the tags iPhone, Apple, Microsoft, Window, Google, etc. The tags allow the reader to zero in on the content they find interesting without having to wade through all of the entries in the Technology category. Most use a tag cloud or a list of tags. I personally wouldn't put it in the footer so you'd have room to grow (have diversity with your entries) without the page being ridiculously long. :) Hi John.

Or where do you insinuate the date should be? When you say archives - do you mean archives by month? Or will any archive do (i.e. all posts found via category)? When you say tags - in what function? As a tag cloud? Listed at the footer of a post? I'm curious and would like to figure out the details. : ) Thanks! Hello,

I’m curious about a few points in Tyme’s comment of 09/03:

No dates
No archives
No tags

When you say dates – is this in the URL structure? Or where do you insinuate the date should be?

When you say archives – do you mean archives by month? Or will any archive do (i.e. all posts found via category)?

When you say tags – in what function? As a tag cloud? Listed at the footer of a post?

I’m curious and would like to figure out the details. : )

Thanks!

It would be nice to see those links included in the footer, along with an RSS feed link. The footer looks pretty lonely with just © 2003-2008 9rules.com :) @Tom – I agree that accessibility is hugely important from all pages of a site.
