Why each article has its own page
A permanent address is what lets an article be found later, shared, and indexed.
An article that lives only on a changing homepage disappears the moment the next one is published. Search engines, bookmarks, and the RSS feed all need a URL that still works next month.
This site gives every article that address on the day it is published. The archive lists them. The home page only introduces the latest few.
The text can be corrected later. The address stays. If a piece is updated, the page says so, and the original date remains.
What a strong article page includes
The title is the only top-level heading. The summary under it says what the page covers, in one or two lines. Sections use descriptive headings, so a reader can scan before committing to the whole piece.
The opening answers the title. Later sections add the detail. Related articles sit at the end, after the piece is finished, not in the middle of a paragraph.
How search fits
Search reads the title, the summary, and the topics on each article. A topic link on an article opens search with that word already filled in.
The list is real HTML, so the articles can be found without running a separate database. Filtering happens in the browser as you type.
What this means for new pages
Publish the page when it says something complete. A thin page with a swapped keyword is not an article, and it will not earn a place in the archive. Write the piece, give it a specific title, and let the permanent address do the rest.
