I was reading a post on Pro Blog Design, and it says that many bloggers forget to update the “year” in the copyright notice. It you want to solve this problem forever, you can use the following code snippet:

© < ?php echo date("Y"); ?> Blog Name

The PHP code above echos the current year, so you’ll never have to update your copyright notice again. This is an excellent tip for WordPress theme designers, never hard code the year into your copyright.
