Was reading on another site, the concept of only using the rudder during approaches and basically leaving the ailerons alone. Is this a new concept or am I way behind times ??

Yep all those fancy words kinda confused meIf it's the site and the poster I think it is, you have to use "dynamic proactive and reactive" controls etc.
IMHO he's kinda made up a lot of his own shtick.
Might work for him but generally speaking I'll stick with what I've learned (and can understand).
I've ridden in the back of Cubs flown by large pilots while counting salmon. There was only so much room for aileron deflection before the stick hit their legs apparently. They used lots of rudder to turn and little aileron. Nobody was harmed in those experiments.

Been around a long time, just a different technique for flying an ILS, once centered keep it centered with rudder. . I don't do it, I fly headings works good. I suppose if the needle moves left stepping on it to keep it put would work but I think the pax might get sick

Something else to consider, in the flare some earlier designs exhibit “aileron reversal” when the wing you are trying to lift with Ailton stalls and drops. Had it happen with the Howard in a xwind, scared the **** out of me. After that, ailerons were neutral when in the flare, all corrections were done with the rudder.

If that is Contact you are talking of, most of rudder only stuff is in ground effect (crop dusting) where you want wings level.
