I don’t know if anyone else has this problem, but I am faced with the prospect of updating all of my blogs to update the year in 2009 in the copyright notice... Since I was going to have to update each and every one and I didn't want to do it a second time ever, I wrote a plugin that once installed (either on an old blog or on a new blog) removes the update requirement... To be sure there are other ways around this, but for me this is the best solution... As always… feedback is encouraged… http://www.blogtrafficexchange.com/blog-copyright/

that is php and yes there are ways of doing just this... I did not claim otherwise... however without just a little more code you will not maintian the original year... date('Y') == 2008 ? date('Y') : '2008-'.date('Y'); Code (markup):
