In reviewing some of ALHN state pages we notice that some of the copyrights are well outdated. One way to keep this current is to log on to your site and change the wording to ‘begin date (whatever date you have) to PRESENT’ By doing this your copyright claim is always current I’d also like to remind everyone that ALHN now has a LEGACY program. I recently posted the donation form for this. Please consider this for your site and pass this information on to your county coordinators. Your current Board of Directors are making every effort we can to bring ALHN into prominence and be a well used network. We’ll need the help of each and every state, county and topic coordinator. All of this will take time but if we don’t make some kind of effort this network could very well pass into obscurity. Small efforts from all of us and a small amount of time will always help. Please help us make ALHN the best of it’s kind because it began in that way and needs to be again. I invite all of you to use this mail list to post your tricks and tips to make a site the best of it’s kind. Here’s just one. Spidering. This, of course, has it’s pros and cons. Having your site registered into a program like ‘freefind.com’ will see to it that search engines find your site when folks are looking.

I use the wording "perpetual copyright created on "insert date". Advice from a lawyer friend. Never have to change or update.
