Drudge Report Caching Weirdness
I’ve noticed that the Drudge Report is getting cached in my browser very often right now. Meaning, when I visit the page throughout the day I have to hit ‘Refresh’ on the browser to actually see the most recent headlines. I haven’t ever had this problem with the Drudge Report. I use Firefox on 2 different computers, so I don’t know if this is a problem with Internet Explorer also. I will keep an eye on it. If anyone has more info, feel free to comment here.
**Update 3/6/06 - I’m not seeing the problem now. It may have been a temporary problem with his server. We’ll see.
**Update 3/9/06 - Nope. Still seeing the problem.

Interesting that you mention it, I use Opera as my main browser, but when I opened Firefox, the drudge page was old.

Cool. Thanks for pointing that out! It’s definitely something he just added in the past few days.
