> can anyone explain the modern trend of not including publishing dates in blog articles?

In such cases, I usually try to see if the `Last-Modified` header served with the HTML document over HTTP, can be useful, but I conclude that often the same people who don't bother with dating their content -- you'd think they'd understand where the word _blog_ comes from, as in "[web]-log" where timestamps are paramount -- these same people don't know or care how HTTP works. Hint: the `Last-Modified` is the last modification time of the _resource_, in this case the actual HTML document. Just because your "backend" re-rendered the content because you didn't bother with setting up your server caching correctly, doesn't mean you should pretend it's a brand new content every day (which https://jakub.kr/components/oklch-colors does, unfortunately, so you won't know the timestamp from HTTP).

I would imagine this is rather to whatever "blog engine" is used instead of the conscious choice of the author (even if they knew what they desire and what would qork better, it might not be their priority).
