  Put publication dates on articles. Put publication dates at the top of articles. Put publication dates in an unambiguous format (that means spelling out the month, avoiding dd-mm-yy, mm-dd-yy and even yyyy-mm-dd) at the top of articles. Beyond that, it would be nice if there was a design convention that made older pages look different. I don't mean "you can tell this page was made in 1996, it has a flashing 'under construction' icon", I mean something more subtle. Perhaps making older pages greyer? Wouldn't work with photos or videos though. Perhaps making just the branding/navigation greyer? But as well as "old", grey also means "disabled".

    And put them at the top. So that I know the context of what I'm considering reading.

    If you're going to bother putting date on your page, put it at the top, close to the title. Always at the top. Thanks.
