Articles and news#
Content on the site — guides, news and information.
Where to find them#
The menu usually includes a link to articles, news or a blog. Articles are ordered from newest to oldest.
Categories and tags#
Articles are usually classified into categories and marked with tags. Click a tag to see everything related to the topic.
A tag leads to related articles faster than searching
The author has manually marked related content.
Searching articles#
It works like searching for goods — titles and text alike.
Try one telling word
A whole sentence usually finds nothing.
Comments#
There is usually a discussion under an article. See Comments and ratings.
Sharing#
Articles usually include buttons for sharing on social networks or a link to copy.
Share the link from the address bar
Links copied from search results often contain tracking information that does not belong there.
News versus articles#
| Article | News item | |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | a guide, a topic | a short announcement |
| How fast it dates | slowly | quickly |
An out-of-date news item is not a fault
News is archived, not deleted. The date on it tells you whether it still applies.
Printing#
Use print preview
Sites are usually prepared for printing, and the preview saves you pages of menus and advertising.
