A site I ran years ago had a page with a bunch of photos from a halloween party thrown by members of the community the site supported. Unfortunately, I forgot to date the page when I put it up - then when I went back to it several years later I couldn't work out if it was in 1998 or 1999! Ever sicne then I've religiously written the full date (in an unambiguous style, such as "19th October 2003") on everything I've posted online - even code samples where I put the date in as a comment at the top of the code.
