## 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.

## Installation

 1. Use **Add Plugin** within the WordPress Admin panel to download and install this
    _Footer Shortcodes_ plugin from the WordPress.org plugin repository (preferred 
    method).
 2. Activate the _Footer Shortcodes_ plugin through the **Installed Plugins** Admin
    panel in WordPress.
 3. Insert `[footer-shortcode-copyright]`, `[footer-shortcode-year]`, `[footer-shortcode-
    site]` and/or `[footer-shortcode]` shortcodes as many times as you wish in one 
    or more WordPress Pages, Posts or text widgets.
