It’s 2010! Do you know what your footer says? It’s a well documented fact that many users don’t make it down to the footer of a website. That fact is just as true for website owners looking at their own website footers. Maybe they see it, they just don’t read it.
It’s just another thing to check in the endless list of website maintenance. What is a common trouble maker once a year? The copyright date.
Hopefully most of you are changing 2009 to 2010. I just did a a quick fix on a new client that had last updated their footer in 2006. To make matters worse, the footer was unique on every page!
