The main reason I moved http://www.hotva.co.uk over from a HTML site to a WordPress site was because the way I had set it up meant that if I needed to change information on the menu, the header or the footer I would have to do it on every single page. You can imagine the time it took to do this.

It is so much easier now and only needs to be updated on one page.

It was also a bind to update my copyright year, every year on every page. That was until I found this snippet of code which does it automatically. The video above shows you how to insert the code into a WordPress footer.

Below is the code to copy and paste into your website. You will need to replace the year and Your Company Name.

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> today=new Date(); y0=today.getFullYear(); </script> Copyright &copy; 2008 &ndash <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">document.write(y0);</script>Your Company Name. All Rights Reserved.
Instructions if needed
Click inside the box and right click and highlight Select All.
Right click and select Copy.
Right click and select Paste.

It’s funny how when you create one post you come across problems which can then be used for further posts. In my case it was embedding a Camtasia video into this post and also adding code into a post. These will be the subjects of my next posts!
