 *     ```
       // add custom post content
       function add_post_content($content) {
       	if(!is_feed() && !is_home()) {
       		$content .= '<p>Copyright &copy; '.date('Y').'&nbsp;'.bloginfo('name').'</p>';
       	}
       	return $content;
       }
       add_filter('the_content', 'add_post_content');
       ```
   
 * The html source output is
    `myblog<p>Copyright &copy; 2011&nbsp;</p>`
 * and normal:
 *     ```
       myblog
       Copyright © 2011
       ```
   
 * WHat is wrong with my php ?

 * Nothing. What’s your charset?
 * And why do you write out the &copy and &nbsp. That’s not necessary if you use
   the right charset.

 * Or are you asking why the “myblog” is coming out before the copyright notice 
   instead of after as in the
 *     ```
       $content .= '<p>Copyright &copy; '.date('Y').'&nbsp;'.bloginfo('name').'</p>';
       ```
   
 * in your original post?
 * Hope you’ve figured this out …

 * So the question is that “bloginfo” is at the end of the PHP code but at the beginning
   of the output?
 * Bizarre.

 * Use [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_bloginfo](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_bloginfo)
   instead
