I think it's quite useful to have the meeting announcements up for at
least several days so what about setting the expiration date like a
month after the date.  Hopefully we'll have something else lined up by
then and it also shows that we did have something previously.
Plus i think it would increase the number of hits on the website.

In fact, i just tried a google search on "phil ssl sgvlug" and the
first hit was the old article but when you click on the link you get
an error saying you need to log in.  the google cache still shows the
old text.

So with that in mind.  Is it possible to just leave the unpublished
date open or way way in the future and configure the home page to only
show the recent articles?
