Automated Copyright Process

With the New Year comes the task of updating the copyright year for you website. Andy Schott has written a plugin for Movable Type that lets you set and forget. The years for the copyright are determined from the created on dates of the earliest and most recent entries in your blog. If you have been blogging for less than a year, then only one year is displayed.

If <$MTBlogCopyright$> is used within the context of an entry, the code displays a copyright string in the following format: Copyright ©2002-2003 <owner>, where <owner> is the nickname of that entry's author.

If used elsewhere, the nickname of most recent entry's author is used. <$MTBlogCopyright owner="owner_name"$> displays a copyright string in the following format: Copyright ©2002-2003 owner_name.

Check after you've republished, because I had to change "owner_name" to my own name.
