Since we started this blog in March 2015 we’ve written 75 posts for your reading pleasure. We hope you’ve found them interesting and useful. This post is a round-up of our most popular posts from the year. It’s a chance for you to revisit an old favourite, or perhaps discover something new.
The top five
- Find Content Inconsistencies Quickly and Easily Using Siteimprove Policy
- Why ‘Under Construction’ Notices are Bad Practice
- Top Five Tips for Writing for the Web
- Why Deleting Old Stuff On Your Website is a Good Idea
- Meet the Supporting Case for Your Core Content
I see a common theme among these posts; they all offer practical advice to help you improve your content. They support concepts that we’re introducing to our editors through the Go Mobile training, but are applicable to all our web editors.
My favourite post
This is a tough call. And even though there’s no pressure on me to pick a single post, I’m going to… because that’s how I roll.
Two contenders for this accolade are also in the list of the top five most popular. They are Jane’s post on deleting old stuff and Linda’s post on supporting content. These were the first posts in which I think people’s characters started to come through in their writing.
The one I’ve chosen as my favourite is Lisa’s post on improving your web content with help from Google Analytics. It connects the tool to a real world example on the Open Day website. It shows how you can use analytics data as evidence for decisions about content updates on your site or marketing activities.

My favourite just has to be Linda’s post on supporting content – it made me laugh! Closely followed by both Emma’s rant/lesson about Do Your Users Interact with Dynamic Content and Lisa’s excellent Decluttering Your Website: How to Prepare for Go Mobile, it answers a question we get asked A LOT!
