			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s the beginning of April  and I just noticed that in the footer of my blog it still said copyright Â© 2008 philwiley.com.</p>
<p>Which means it will say it on all of my other blogs too <img src='http://philwiley.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>What about on your sites? Did you remember to update them?</p>
<p>Anyhow, I&#8217;ve done some research to find a one-time solution, and it&#8217;s as simple as adding some dynamic code into your WordPress theme.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><code>&lt;p&gt;copyright &amp;copy; &lt;?php echo date('Y'); ?&gt; mysite.com&lt;/p&gt;</code></span></p>
<p>On most themes the copyright information is at the bottom, in the footer. So it&#8217;s simply a matter of delving into the code of your footer, and replacing your current copyright date with the dynamic code.</p>
<p>Of course, if you started your blog years ago you can just add the first year followed by a dash, as below.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><code>&lt;p&gt;copyright &amp;copy; 2005-&lt;?php echo date('Y'); ?&gt; mysite.com&lt;/p&gt;</code></span></p>
<p>When you put date(â€™Y&#8217;) in your code the year from the current date is automatically used. And unless you change your theme you never have to worry about it again.</p>
<p>(note: you can edit your theme by logging into your blog via ftp, or in your blog dashboard look under Appearance/Editor.)</p>
