If you have a conscientious webmaster in house or on retainer, that is. ;)

Another thing to consider- have your webmaster use Javascript or PHP (or other similar technology) to automatically update the year. It's easy to do, and you won't have to worry about updating it next year and beyond.

From one perspective, the "automatic" solution is a good one. On the other hand, it would be nice if people reviewed their site at least once a year. :)

Yeah, absolutely- but many of my former clients don't.

Most people still see the website as a glorified brochure- work on it once, publish it, forget about it... at least until people start complaining.

That's why I say these are former clients- I've reached the point where I just don't want to work with people who aren't interested in using the web to their advantage, rather than people who want a website because they feel they have to have one.

Anyway, that's a rant that could turn into a full on blog post. I'll spare your readers the commentjacking. :)
