When a user is viewing a Web page, he often wants to know if the information is current or outdated. You can help your readers determine how current your content is by inserting the date that the page was created or last saved. Adobe Dreamweaver allows you to quickly insert a date stamp on any Web page and you can format it in a variety of ways, including adding the day and time.
