Creative Commons
After the last post, I looked through the Creative Commons website and within five minutes I had figured out how to set up a Creative Commons license on the weblog. Over in the sidebar there is a Creative Commons license with a link to show what the terms are. So easy!
Blogger and Categories
Well, my reply from Blogger came through quite quickly (mentioned in an earlier post). There is no category facility in Blogger. That was it! Today, I have been hunting online for more information about this. It has become more of an issue since I set up another weblog called “Evaluation in Healthcare“. This is a … Read more
