Monevator articles?

As well as following this forum everyday, I also enjoy reading the Monevator articles.
My problem is that due to time constraints I cannot always finish the weekly article before the next weeks article is published.
I cannot find how to access the weekly articles, very dim of me but I have tried everything but cannot bring them up.
For example if i wanted to read the article published on the say Friday 7th December 2019, how can I bring it up to read it?

    I don’t follow Monevator, but a very quick google for “ monevator 7 december 2019”, shows that there was a post on the 6th and the 10th but not one on the 7th. Clicking on the article from 6th December, I see there is an Archive tab. Clicking on that I see that I can find all the articles ever posted...

    Just how hard did you try? :rotfl:

    If someone has to ask that question, maybe the usability of the website is not that great either. Actually, your own answer has also indicated that it was not that simple...

    Yes, exactly! I think the site is great and very thought provoking, but I, at least do not find it easy to navigate, compared to many other sites.
    It could be me, as at my advanced age it gets harder to keep up to date with PC/site use.
    Thank you for the answer, it will make life a lot easier in this regard.

    I’m not sure how much easier the website could have made it, when they provide a specific tab labelled “Archive”!

    Also, surely nowadays any on-line search starts with a quick Google?

    How much simpler could it all have been?

    I do hope that Apodemus is not a 70 plus years tech wizard, but a far younger man?
    I am sure that many 70+ members are far more tech wizards than myself, but I am sure that there are many who came to technology far later in life and find not every thing is dead simple.
    Very often after some kind person has shown the way, I think, Ah! why did I not see that!
    I stagger on though managing very successfully several online portfolios for myself and several for family members with all that that entails.
    So with a little bit of help from people like the kind members who pointed the way for me, I'll stagger on bravely in the tech world.
  • I will help you with the tech, and you help me with the financial advice? Would be a brilliant deal if I were your son.

    Anyway at least you've found the article now.

    I follow the Monevator articles intently each week, excellent advice on investing, but also very interesting on many aspects.
    It's a deal!
    It's been a good year for me and many others, a few funds lagging, but mainly well pleased.
