Going through the archives on this site, I realised that as I post less doesn’t really make much sense not to output the year on posts. With some archive pages spanning several years. So now it’s possible to see directly how little I post on this site, like a blogging version of wayback machine. Yay.

It’s at times like these that I am very happy I declare copyright notices on the sites I manage using the php method for echoing the year.

Saves a lot of time and panic after noticing a site you built years ago looks somewhat out of date.

Update: via Maarten Jacobs (@MaartenJJ) it’s a good idea to set the timezone to ensure it displays correctly for the users location via date_default_ timezone_set(). Thanks Maarten
