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.

1. Go to blogger.com and sign in with your Google account. Once signed in, you will be directed to the dashboard. Select 'Design' of the blog you wish to CC license:

4. Go back to Blogger 'Edit HTML' page. In the 'Edit Template' section, scroll down near the end of the template code, before you see </html> (or </body></html>), and paste in the code copied in the previous step by hitting ctrl-v (command-v on a Mac):
