Earlier in this thread, Judy made comment regarding META tags expiring and
copyright dates.

It may be of interest to those inserting the standard meta copyright tag in
the head of the page, that it is possible to format it so that the copyright
date shown by the tag always shows the year in which the page is viewed.

An example using Server Side Includes follows:-

<meta name="copyright" content="<!--#config timefmt="%Y" --><!--#echo
var="DATE_LOCAL" --> Barry Carlson" />

The above is entered on the same line, but when the source code is viewed
online, the result will be:-

<meta name="copyright" content="2010 Barry Carlson" />

Have a look at the source code in:-

http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~bristowe/test/fixed-header.html

Also note the use of SSI to display some similar "nonsense" at the bottom of
the displayed page.
