Nowadays most, if not all, websites contain a small copyright blurb in their site footer. Take a look at the bottom of this site and you’ll see the text: “Copyright © 2009-2010 CopperBot Media” as an example. Even if you’re fairly new to web design you’re probably already savvy enough to know the ASCII character code for the copyright symbol and you might be thinking, “Creating a copyright blurb is pretty easy. Where are you going with this?” The problem with static copyright blurbs created in HTML is that they become obsolete at the end of the year. The purpose of this post is to provide you with a simple dynamic alternative (using php) that will update automatically and keep your copyright blurbs up to date.
CopperBot Media
Hello and welcome! Here at CopperBot Media there are three things I'm passionate about: art, technology, and connecting with other human beings. That said I've come to love the web like a fish loves water! Being one part artist and one part developer the services I provide can be divided into two primary categories: Web Design & Digital Art. For the prior I specialize in website design and development, CMS integration and management, interface design and the development of basic flash components. With the later I primarily focus on 2D graphic design, conceptual illustration, print design, and 2D sprite graphics and animation. Want to know more?

April 22nd, 2010Web Design Gallery Updated
March 25th, 2010It’s March! Valentines, St. Patty’s & Ground Hog Day have all come and gone and this is my first update since early January. My hopes and dreams of updating the site more frequently have been officially dashed but I have been absent with good reason! Today I am happy to finally update my Web Design Gallery with three new sites. Of these sites only one has officially “gone live” but the other two should be finished and online within the coming month. Please take a moment to view the fruits of my labor and let me know what you think. Feedback is always appreciated! Thank you kindly for stopping by!
