One thing that absolutely drives me nuts is when other blogs, news sites, or other sources of information do not include the year of the entry, or even the entire date itself. What the heck?! Take this for example. I was searching for information about the AA/BA deal and Google gave me this site. Great, except how do I know how old this was? Maybe it was referencing another deal 4 years ago? Ugh. I had to dig into the -trash- comments for a datestamp.

I see this problem strewn everywhere especially with blog posts. Great that you published a few nice posts 3 days ago… or was it 3 days and 3 years? Always frustrates me.

And yes, I know my blog software doesn’t show the year in the post, but at least it does in the URL (though I would gladly turn on year in display if I could!)

UPDATE: New software does!
