Lack of updates

I was just visiting a website that sells books from one of my favorite authors. This this site hasn't been updated in weeks! Let's just say it was a major turn off for me as it looked like they may not even be in business. Let this be a design lesson: never shirk on updating a website!

Yes great advice, not only for users or visitors to the site but also search engines love a steady flow of fresh content.

What if nothing new has developed with the author?

Would it be better for the website owner to have a blog that links to the main website so that articles can be written easily?

IF so, what sorts of articles would be good to create the "feel" of updated information while leaving the main website as is?
