I am sure that most of the readers of this blog have visited this page, but if by any chance you haven't, check it out!

ReplyDeleteSuggestion: Rather than just placing the word "NEW" next to the more recent additions to the website, indicate the date of the addition (or update). That way visitors to the website can easily go through and see what has been added since they were last there.
(If they don't remember when they were last there, they can always start with the most recent addition and work their way backwards until they hit something familiar.)
