Hey everyone, if you happened to read my previous post about people selling stuff and not keeping their copyright date updated you will know where the idea for this plugin came from. So anyhow, I made a plugin that handles all this for you, simply upload it, activate it and follow the included instructions and it will automatically keep your footer (or anywhere else you want it) copyright date updated based upon the dates of your posts. You can see an example of this in my footer here. So, if you made your first post in 1982 (when you were partying like it was 1999) and your most recent post is of course this year, this plugin will generate this:
Copyright © 1982-2009
If your posts are all from 2009 etc, it will generate this:
Copyright © 2009
All you have to do to get it is fill out this uber easy form, which is created by an amazing bit of software called ViralSignUp that was created by a friend of mine. Fill out the form, click submit and you will get your free plugin that I will also allow you to use it as a giveaway (people love free stuff) If you choose to use this as a giveaway (more info on the download page about this)
So, without further ado here is the form to fill out :-)
Here we are getting into the 5th month of the year, I am still seeing a lot of blogs that haven’t updated the copyright information in their footer.
A plugin like that would be very nice to have. On my blog, I have it hard coded into my footer to update. I have too many plugins and always trying to cut the amount of them down.
I noticed the same thing which is why I whipped this up… I also have the php in my footer file now as well to limit the number of plugins used but for people who don’t want to be bothered to do that this plugin will do the trick :)
