 In the past week 3 people have asked me about using or creating a copyright symbol in their posts so I thought now would be a good time to put a few together that you can use both here on Active Rain as well as on Wordpress, Typepad or with any other blog or website you have.

 This is just a sample of some of the goodies I'll be giving away on on my new blog that will launch in the next few weeks. Here we go...

 

simple copyright symbols (small, medium, large)

Blog Contests A to Z

 Running a blog contest can be a great way to attract new readers, subscribers and generate a ton of comments but you have to do it right or else! Before jumping in, take a look at what to do or not to do by Jeremy Schoemaker.
