BRAD: Indentation, italics, bold, color and graphics are prime tools for setting material apart and drawing user attention. I don't think that using more than two in combination is overkill in case of breaking from a standard presentation the viewer expects. Keeping such notices terse is an important user interface design concept. Most style guides recommend against use of passive voice. Style guides generally recommend bold for emphasis and italics for quotations, proper names, etc.

I recommend against putting a generic two years old because editor actions have already archived comments less than two years old (July-December 2007). Further, editors may not keep up with the archiving tasks. Hence, my recommend putting the year (or Year Month) in the message.

I assume that Ryan's macro could take an argument for the date (year or year and month). I have used the  ["/Comments"]  form as it does not require cut and paste for each operation, but assume the macro could take care of that problem automatically. Page renames break the /Comments form.


MY RECOMMENDATION (indented) Macro  [[CommentArchive(2008)]]
