Relevance and Support
When writing for the web having relevant sources and links allow for a more creditable site
Dated Pages
Dates on every page or article allow for the viewer to know when the post is made or updated
- Posted dates also increase credibility for the website, and without them the viewer will not know if the site is being updated weekly
Outside Web Sources
Content links to outside websites allow for the website to be creditable
- Linking to non-creditable
Relevant Content Links
Having a source to an outside webpage about kittens, for example, on a Writing for Digital Media website does not apply and is not relevant
- "Ideal website content should be understandable, relevant and helpful to the site- visitors."
