	Back at work! [stephencronin]
	So we’re debating whether website copyright date should be a range (2007-2010) or a single year (2010). I use range, but many sites don’t. [stephencronin]
	@DanielleCu The 2007-2010 eg was from my personal site, which was only created in 2007. QPIF uses 1995-2010, but the Gateway only uses 2009. [stephencronin]
	@DanielleCu Yep. Google, Yahoo, ABC, CNN, News.com.au all have single years, although only Google has updated to 2010. The rest are 2009. [stephencronin]
	@DanielleCu According to the QLD govt copyright guidelines, the statement isn’t necessary. You’re covered even if it’s not there. [stephencronin]

	Just had a conversation about whether links should be in the body of the article or listed below it (to avoid distracting user). BODY!! [stephencronin]
	@DanielleCu: @leesargent Agree it’s not done well often enough but a link has greater context in the body than tacked on at the end. [stephencronin]
	@DanielleCu: @leesargent And a link in the body has slightly more SEO power than one separated out into a list of links at the end. [stephencronin]
	Got an email. The problem with my WordPress plugin that I was investigating last night was just a permissions problem – not the plugin [stephencronin]
	@leesargent Noone knows for sure, but most SEOs believe inbody links beat links anywhere else – for external but should apply internally too [stephencronin]
	@leesargent Most believe that Google can now recognise the different parts of the page as well. It knows the sidebar is the sidebar. [stephencronin]
	Shouldn’t RT as I’ll have less chance of winning RT @perishable Book Giveaway: Print Version of Digging into WordPress: http://bit.ly/86aLPr [stephencronin]
	@leesargent Agreed – That’s why I said slightly. [stephencronin]
	@leesargent I’d go with inbody anyway, because of greater context. I don’t want to wait until the end until I see the links. I want them NOW [stephencronin]
	@leesargent That’s what right-click Open in new tab is for. But then maybe I’m a power user. [stephencronin]
	@leesargent great eg where inbody links wouldn’t work if they were below body – http://bit.ly/7eVxaj – too much distance from related text [stephencronin]
	@DanielleCu See the eg I gave Lee – http://bit.ly/7eVxaj – if the links are too far from the text they are related to, they lose context. [stephencronin]
	@leesargent no one will click on Dan’s link if it’s after the rest of the post – it has more context being attached to his name. [stephencronin]
	@leesargent then people have the CHOICE to find out more about it before continuing – rather than after when it may be too late. [stephencronin]
