Protect your content with Creative Commons
It is an unfortunate fact that plagiarism runs rampant in the web today, so it is paramount that you protect your original content from people who would just copy and paste and claim your hard work as their own.
Creative Commons is a form of licensing that communicates which part of your website or written / graphic content you allow people to use (with proper attribution, of course). Creative Commons offers a number of licensing options that each have different clauses that cover use of the content. According to the website, Creative Commons licenses can be enforced legally, so if you want to take a plagiarism case to actual court, having a Creative Commons license makes it possible.
All you need to do is look for the source code for the license you want at the Creative Commons website, and simply paste it on your blog’s template.
