Signal vs. Noise: The Yellow Fade Technique:
[…] The YFT uses JavaScript to create a yellow highlight that briefly spotlights the change when the page reloads. Then, in a second or two, the highlight fades and the page reverts to its normal state. The YFT makes it super easy to spot edits/changes yet its unobtrusive nature lets people quickly get back to work once a modification is confirmed.
Kind of like a super-slow version of the colour changes on the BBC site. In reverse. ;-)
