Every year, in January, I see those reminders to update your copyright year on the footer of your website. Don’t get me wrong, I remind my clients, and I share that reminder on our socials too.

In this short and sweet video and article, I’m sharing a snippet of code that will automatically update the copyright year on your Squarespace website…
