Putting together a blog and copyrighting the content
Hi everyone,
I'm thinking putting together a blog and had a few questions. The first is in reference to a good blogging system. I've never done a blog and would like something that is easy to work with. It doesn't have to have all sorts of fancy gobbledeecrap. Just a very simple design. I plan to write the entries in a text editor and cut and paste them into whatever blogging system is the blogging system of choice.
The other issue is copyright. I doubt the average blogger thinks about copyrighting their work but to me it's an important consideration. For example… Imagine I develop a blog called, "Robert M reviews…" and write biweekly or monthly reviews about my latest and greatest acquisitions. I may not be a "professional reviewer" but it is my work and I'd like to protect it.
What would be the best way to go about putting together a blog? I have no doubt the copyright office has something in place for situations like this, i.e. send info once every X number of months along with a fee. I figured I ask you for a bit of quick guidance to see if you'd recommend a good starting point or two on the topic.
Thanks for your help,
Robert
