Why this matters
As a blog grows, maintenance becomes part of the publishing system. Ignoring old content creates stale advice and weak internal links.
Setup
Assign refresh frequency by importance. Core guides may need quarterly review, while narrow tutorials can be reviewed twice a year.
Implementation notes
Track refresh work in the same calendar as new posts. This prevents maintenance from being treated as optional cleanup.
Final checklist
- Important posts have review dates
- Refreshes are tracked
- Updates improve reader value
