How to publish on Blogger
Start by choosing a license for your blog at http://creativecommons.org/choose/. The resulting page will contain the appropriate icons and HTML code. Keep this page open in a separate tab or browser window.

5. Click 'Save Template'. If you 'View Blog', you should see the CC license icon with accompanying information (if you filled out the metadata fields in the license chooser) at the bottom of your blog:
