Provides shortcodes to display the copyright symbol, the current year and a site link.

== Description ==

Footer Shortcodes provides an easy way to add the standard footer copyright notice to your website - copyright symbol, Year, Site Title (linked to homepage).

There are separate shortcodes for each element so you can arrange and punctuate them however you like.

There is also a forth shortcode that combines the three elements in the standard way - © thisyear siteTitle.

Footer Shortcodes uses the PHP date() function so the year will always be current.

Shortcodes work in content and widgets but will **NOT** work in Titles, WP Custom Fields, Site Title, Site Description, Widget Titles, Menus, Headers and the HTML `<title>` element.
