How to Copyright Your Web Site

Finding What's Changed on Your Site

Here's how to find the files on your site that you've changed in the past three months:

  1. In any version of Windows that you're likely to be using:
    • fire up Windows Explorer by right-clicking on the Start menu and selecting Explore.
    • navigate to the directory containing the web site
    • click on the word 'Modified'. The display will be sorted to date & time; if it shows as "oldest date first" then click again and it will re-sort to "newest date first".
    • select all the elements that you need, going three months back, with the mouse, right click, Copy; then move the mouse to your target directory icon (or CD or diskette or whatever), left click, right click, and Paste.
  2. In the Unix/Linux command line: cd to the directory containing your web site and type: find . -mtime -90 -print this will list all files that have been modified in the past 90 days.
  3. In MacOS X 10.4: from the Finder, choose Find... from the File menu. At the top of the New Search window, set the search parameters to "Last Modified", "Within Last", "3 Months". In a moment, you'll see a list of all files on your computer that have changed in the last three months. Scroll down to the folder containing your web site.
