Best practices

  • Do not delete old news. News articles get indexed and linked from external sites and search engines. It’s best to update a news post, editorially.
  • Do not add a date to the news title. You can, but it’s not a best practice. It’s better to editorially update the article, perhaps at the beginning (“Updated: 10/23/2021”). Then update the article publish date, if you like.
