Most of us forget that we have to change certain things on our blog at the end of every year, certain things like the footer which contains the copyright year of the blog. Now most theme on WordPress have the year hardcoded, meaning instead of a php code which would display the year it is simply coded 2008 or 2009. This means that at the beginning of every year that information has to be changed.

You can do this by logging on to your WP admin and then selecting the editor of the theme. Click footer and the find the place where the copyright notice has been placed. Either you can change the year to 2009 or let this be taken care of automatically by using this php code.

If you are using the php code then this is would be a one time change as the year will be automatically updated from now on. However you would need to do this again incase you change the theme. Also note that your date settings should be correct in the settings tab otherwise the year could be displayed wrongly.
