I have my own hobby website
http://fabpedigree.com
Most of the pages change about once per month.
When I access it myself with Firefox I often get old versions.
(I can click Refresh, of course, if I notice this,
but I worry about others accessing the site; they'd have
the same problem but not even know it.)
I realize I can add a 'NO-CACHE' directive on each page,
or in a .htaccess file, but that seems like overkill.
I don't want to degrade access speed. It would be
inconvenient to add EXPIRES directives to the html
pages, as I don't know in advance when the page will
be obsoleted.
I wish there were a .htaccess or html directive like
"Don't keep any cached pages for more than a week."
How do others handle this issue?
My ignorance of html, etc., is rather thorough, so any comments
on elementary ideas I'm overlooking are welcome.
