Hi Tom,
As far as I’m concerned there are really no implications of not having a copyright statement there. People tend to copy stuff even if it does have a copyright symbol don’t they?!

Edit:

#Suppose I’d better do the usual “I am not a lawyer, my views alone, don’t follow them they are probably rubbish etc.etc.etc”

Hi Dan,

Great post. I’ve just got a quick question regarding copyright notices because I’m not fully up to speed on them. What are the implications of not having a copyright notice?

I did initially have my footer graphics include a copyright notice but quickly realised this would require me to upgrade my graphics each year so instead I now order footers that include “website – all rights reserved”. Should I change this to date based notices? Any assistance woud be appreciated.

Great Tip Dan…..

That said – With the shear numbers of pages I’d have to alter – I’m inclined to leave the flipping things….lol

But for new sites – it’s something definately worth considering

Oh and Happy New Year and may 2008 be a prosperous one for you and all your readers Dan

Warm regards
Randy

WOW, you 2 were quick with the comments, I only just sent the mailing!

Thanks Colin, and a Happy New Year to you as well!

Good tip Dave, I tend to stay away from Javascript when I can as some people tend to disbale javascript via their browser.

You make a good point about using the includes, it’s another great timesaver. I often use them for navigation bars and any copyright notices, you’ve given me something to write about in a future newsletter!

Hi Dan,

A great time saving tip for this time of year!

I have implemented something similar on my sites but, instead of using PHP, I use a small piece of javascript to produce the footer for all of my pages on all of my sites.

Now I can update the date (or anything else in the footer) on all of my sites by simply updating one file containing the javascript code.

I learnt this little trick from John Delevera and it workd a treat.
