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.

Dynamic Copyright Code
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!
Wordpress: My New Best Friend
September 16th, 2009Hello everyone and welcome to the CopperBot blog! Over the last few days I’ve been diligently working on getting the site ready for public viewing. It’s been a long road getting CopperBot Media designed, cut and integrated but we’re nearly there and I’m getting pretty excited! A word to the wise, don’t decide to re-brand and thus redesign your website in the midst of an international move. Yes, because I love having more things on my plate than I could ever possibly hope to accomplish I decided to tackle this project just about the time my wife Vanessa and I decided it was time to move back to the United States from New Zealand. Why New Zealand in the first place? Why the move back? Those are questions to be answered at another time. What I want to talk about today is Wordpress.
