After Class:

Add a Creative Commons license to your WordPress blog. I’ve created a tutorial here. In a blog post (200-500 words), tell us why you chose the license you did. Will you use the same license for your final project? (Please make sure you add one to your final project once we get there!) Will you run into any issues with Copyright with images or sources you might consider for your final project? DUE FEBRUARY 25 BY 5PM
