A common design device for most websites is to include a copyright notice at the bottom of the web page in the footer area. The jury is out as to whether this copyright date has any legal purpose, but clients' seem to love it. However, a copyright line that is out of date can be a bad reflection on the site.

This following PHP script automatically changes the copyright to the current year every year so that it never goes out of date. Note that the JS version works as well.

In the code there are references to copyright1 and copyright2. These are bits of yaml that reside in /user/config/site.yaml and define the site name

Consider breaking this out the footer as a partial?
