Back with the Creative Commons!

I posted last year about a plugin for Wordpress that allowed me to integrate my Creative Commons license with the blog.  Well with me upgrading to Wordpress 2.0 (and then 2.0.1) after having lost most of my entries, it was time for me to redisplay this license information on the site because I think it’s extremely important to have an open copyright system.

I decided to use this new plugin called the Creative Commons Configurator.  It made it remarkably easy to integrate.  I just had to choose my license, copy the RDF into the plugin’s options page and then choose where I wanted to have it displayed.  I choose three places: in the header so that bots can read it when spidering this site, in my RSS feed and also on a single post page so that when you’re viewing one post you can see what the rights are.

This is the license that I choose to go with.  It’s the Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 Canada license.  It’s great that they have regionally-targeted licenses now.  The work of the Creative Commons group is one that I heartily endorse.  If I didn’t then I wouldn’t be licensing my work in this way.
