Reboot coming in 2010/Q1! I agree with you but I’m a sad victim of my own success: the site is currently behind, not just in the blog department, but my portfolio needs to be updated too.

I look for dates on blog posts to see if the site is actively maintained, especially when I am looking at a service company that I may want to use. If they maintain they have a blog, do they maintain it? If not, why have a blog, instead of static pages such as 'tips and tricks' or 'white papers' or 'case studies'. I don't expect you to keep those up to date, but by its very nature, I expect a blog to be up to date, or at least consistently updated (monthly, quarterly, etc.). Just an opinion. P.S. I agree with the posts sentiment, all verbs or all nouns is silly. Just be clear. Funny thing though, you left dates on your comments, and now the site does feel out of date.

Dates don't seem so relevant here so I left ’em out. If something falls behind the times or becomes irrelevant, I just delete it. Hi Heather. Dates don’t seem so relevant here so I left ’em out.

I know you from the Creative Ireland site :) (I've got the boringusername). I'm curious why you choose not to use dates on your blog posts. It seems an unusual practice, and I hadn't seen it before. I love the site by the way. Thanks for the tips & tricks. Heya! I know you from the Creative Ireland site :) (I’ve got the boringusername).
