Code Muffin

<p>This plugin allows you to use the shortcode [copyright], which inserts a copyright symbol, the site name (linking back to the homepage), and the year.</p>
<p>A span with the class “copyright” wraps this, and the year is dynamically updated.</p>
<p>This is ideally used in the footer of your website. If shortcodes don’t work in widget areas on your site, check the FAQs.</p>
