 To change "Follow:" text that precedes footer links, edit the `follow_label` key in `_data/ui-text.yml`.
 
+The copyright notice in the footer shows the year the site has been generated. This can be overridden with `time` in `_config.yml`. If `footer.since` is added and the value is not equal to the current year or the optional value of `time`, then a time range will be shown.
+
+```yaml
+footer:
+  since: "2013"
+```
+
+The above will result for example in `© 2013 - 2025 Minimal ...`. Note that `time` and `footer.since` also support values other than year numbers.

 Nothing out of the ordinary here. `include` and `exclude` may be the only things you need to alter.
