 |
Step three: Paste code into your Blogger Template
Log into your Blogger blog, then click the Template tab to edit the code. Near the end of the template code, before you see </body></html>, paste in the code copied in the previous step by clicking the page and hitting ctrl-v (command-v on a Mac). Click "Save Template Changes" then republish your blog to add your license to your Blogger site. |

Step one: Login to Movable Type

Step two: Edit Configuration/Choose license
On the main configuration page, click on the "Preferences" option in the upper right area, then scroll down to the link marked "Create a License now" link. Answer the questions, scroll down to save your configuration, then republish your blog to see a license button added to your site. |
Typepad
Begin by follow the first two steps above for Blogger to choose a license and copy the code.
 |
Step three: Create a new Typelist
You'll want to create a new Typelist to hold the Creative Commons license code. Log into Typepad, then click on the Typelists tab, and create a new Typelist called CC or Creative Commons, and make it a Link type of list. |
 |
Step four: Paste code into your new Typelist
Click "New Item" to add a Typelist item, and paste your license code into the "Notes" area and save the item. |
 |
Step five: Change Typelist configuration
Once the item is saved in your new Typelist, click the "Edit Configuration" link for your Creative Commons typelist, then scroll down to the Advanced options, and under "Display Notes" click the "as text" option and save. |
 |
Step six: Add Typelist to your blog
The last step is to add the typelist to your blog. Click the "Edit Design" option on your blog, then click the "Content" link and scroll down to the Typelists options, then click your Creative Commons typelist, save, then republish your blog to add the license. |
