    I just recently came across this handy piece of code, some beginner web developers might be interested in:

    <meta HTTP-EQUIV="expires" CONTENT="now">
    <meta HTTP-EQUIV="pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">

    Put it between the <head> and </head> tags. It shows your visitors the most updated version of your web site, instead of loading "old" news etc. from their cache.

    Most clients will compare the last updated time of webpages to the page in the cache anyway, and serve the most recent. The "pragma" and "expires" META tags are only useful if you're serving dynamic content, particularly if the served content uses an internal URL rewriting engine. (Content served via POST isn't cached, although content served via GET is unpredictable.)
