[conspire] web page date?

[Paul Zander]

The problem is more that in looking for information, sometimes get to website that is obviously years old and several versions behind.  

I did find that Google searches can be for a specified time, such as "past week" or "past year".

What I want to know is how to find when a web-site was modified.  Sometimes a search for information points to content that might be old and not longer valid.

Long ago, one could 

   
   - open a website with Iceweasel (or Firefox)    

   - right mouse for pop-up menu
   - select "View Page Info"
   - A new window would open.  One line was labeled "Modified"

Then you knew when that page had been created.
Now, almost all web-sites generate pages dynamically.  So the result is the current date and time.
What other method exists to find out when the content was created?


Follow That Page <support at followthatpage.com>

followthatpage.com might be of interest. It will send you an email when the Web site you designate changes.
