Choose a license for your blog

On the "Mark your content" page of the license process, copy the code provided by highlighting it with your mouse and hitting ctrl-c (command-c on a Mac).

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.

You'll want to start by logging into your Movable Type installation, and finding the "Edit Configuration" link for the blog you'd like to 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.

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.

Click "New Item" to add a Typelist item, and paste your license code into the "Notes" area and save the item.

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.

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.

Choose a license for your Tumblr blog. Make sure to fill in all fields as completely as possible. "Source Work URL" should be the blog URL.

Start by logging into Tumblr, going to the "Customize" dashboard, and clicking the "Theme" menu item.

Click the "Customize HTML" button on your theme to edit the HTML directly.

You will need to place the HTML you generated in Step 1 into the theme HTML. The best location will vary on the theme, but one common method would be to replace the existing Copyright disclaimer with the CC license code. You might additionally need to customize the blog's CSS code to display the CC license mark appropriately.

If you have little experience with HTML or CSS, you could try simply inserting the HTML code somewhere near the bottom of the page. Experiment with different placements until you find somewhere that works.
