Update Your Copyright for the New Year

It’s 2010 and time to update the copyright notice on your site. For most sites, the copyright information is located in the footer.

If you are on Blogger, just go to the Layouts tab and edit the section that shows your copyright information.

If you’re on WordPress and the copyright is in the footer of your theme, it requires going to the Appearances link in the sidebar of your Dashboard and then clicking Editor. But, be aware that this will display the code that runs your site. So, be careful with your editing.

If you have a static site or static site pages connected to your blog, hopefully you used a Server Side Include (SSI) file for your copyright information. That way you only have to update one file. If not, you’ll need to update every page of your site, and that’s not much fun. If that’s the case, you might want to investigate using an include file. Think of it this way, you’re already going to have to update every page any way. Why not modify the code slightly with the include file. It will save you a lot of time next year.
