I was getting fed up of my day-time ISP's caching policy which seemed to prevent me from getting the latest updated content of this weblog so I put <meta http-equiv="expires" content="0"> in the <head></head> section and that seems to have done the trick. Let's see if I get this new content 'uncached'! [Seconds later] Eureka!! [Minutes later]: Maybe it's a browser issue although I don't recall my other regular (evening) ISP exhibiting the same behaviour. The BBSW Web Authoring List [see BBSW Talk List Searchable Archive] had a wee thread on this a couple of weeks ago and the resources cited then were META FAQ and WDVL: How (and how not) to Control Caches. YMMV.
