Google says it wants fresh content which in turn impacts on your SEO policies.
If a search engine spiders your site each day, it can find significant differences to its index from it's previous visit.
Week of Words is a Joomla! 1.5 module which you can pre-set to publish an article for each day of the week by simply adding the article number. It's easy and will keep publishing your roster as long as it's active.
Install the module. Then using Joomla's module manager, select Week of Words. Assign a module position as you would with any other module. Then add the article number's you want to publish to the days form, Monday through to Sunday.
So, let's say you have an article about how you don't like Mondays - put that number in Week of Words Monday field.
Say you have an article warning of the dangers of drink, add that to Friday, an article about great hangover cures? Add it to Saturday .
Don't forget, you can have multiple instances of modules so you could also have a week of words just for hints and tips and another for daily offers or just an image. It's up to you!
Images
I wanted this capability, and I was pleased to see the extension's high reviews. But images were frequently broken and I couldn't detect a pattern. I could find no fix on the documentation or Joomla forum, and I wasn't willing to pay $10 just to send an email question. (Pay to customize a free extension, sure! Pay to find out how to make a free extension do what it says it does, not so much.)
So if you have a text only insert, try this! But if you have additional content, such as photos in your articles, be aware they might not work.

Thanks for creating such a useful module. I have it set up so my client simply enters the content into an article labeled with the day of the week. She does not have to worry about any of the details or how it works.
Also thanks for getting such a quick turnaround on the upgrade for the 2.5 version. Not sure if you already were working on it, but you had it done just days after I inquired about it.
Thanks again!

This module has not the attention it should. It has to be explore more. It has multiple uses and it can be adapted to whatever need you might have regarding specific content text (that might include photos, etc.). Not to forget that it can be place anywhere in your site. It is easy to deploy and set as is stated by the creators. Thank you for the good work!
