I was spinning up a brand new client website that would (like most websites) include a copyright footer. I wanted to make sure I wouldn’t have to come back year after year and update the year span, so here is what I used:
It will display only 2009 as the copyright year until January 1, 2010, then it will start displaying a span (from 2009 through the current year). Simple.
Uses Rails 2.3.2

Guess I need to improve my Ruby-fu. ;)
