It's the 19th January: did you update the copyright line on your blog yet? Or are you still saying copyright 2009? Or worse still, 2008, 2007 or 1999?

I like to edit my WordPress theme's footer so that it automatically updates with the new year. Here's the code if you want to do the same:

&copy; <?php bloginfo('name'); ?> 2008 - <?php echo date("Y"); ?>

Obviously you'll want to change the first date to the year in which you started blogging.
