Providing contextual clues helps users know where they are on your website. Here are a few examples:

  • Dates: Show the date when the content was published. This helps users know if the information is current.
  • Tags: Tags categorize content, making it easier for users to find related information. For example, tags like "Technology," "Health," or "Recipes."
  • Icons: Icons can quickly convey the type of content. For example, a calendar icon for events or a chat bubble for comments.
