We find a lot of wordpress blogs now-a-days on the web, if you want numbers i read online a few months ago that there are 180,000 Blogs installed every Day! Isnt that more than enough to give you an idea how many are around you on this piece !

Ideally a Blog means something that one person: “the Blogger” uses as a platform to share his views and openions, its usually like a web log or a diary. Now professional web design blogs and Niche blogs are not Blogs anymore, they are Niche Specific websites or Portals with Loads of useful information. So Make sure you DO NOT call your blog a BLOG anymore, call it a website or portal specializing in your niche.

Often webdevelopers and designers face issue with updating content in their website and find that always the old page is loaded and the updated contents fail to load. This is basically beacause when browsers loads a page for the first time, it stores the image and data in the cache, this inturn results in loading the website from cache next time users browses the website.

If the caching of your website is disabled from your website code, then each time the website is loaded, the browser does not check for the cache and fresh and updated content is loaded.

This could be easily achieved by adding the below simple code in the Meta code of your website, just paste the below code in your html in place of meta tag. The time specified need not be the same, it just needs to be an older date than today !
