    I’m using the Mistylook theme. I don’t want to manually edit each blog post, is there a CSS that will change them all automatically?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there, you can use a pseudo-class to place a copyright before the sharing stuff with the following CSS. I included color and font weight declarations in case you want to make it bold and a different color so it stands out some.

    #jp-post-flair:before {
    color: #000000;
    content: "© Adam Smith and drivershout.wordpress.com, 2014. Unauthorized use and/or duplication of this material without express and written permission from this blog’s author and/or owner is strictly prohibited. Excerpts and links may be used, provided that full and clear credit is given to Adam Smith and drivershout.wordpress.com with appropriate and specific direction to the original content.";
    display: block;
    font-weight: bold;
}

    Another possibility is to put your copyright into a text widget in the sidebar instead of repeating it at the end of each post.

    Richard – you amaze me all the time – I was going to suggest the sidebar widget (I use a footer widget) – but decided to keep quiet – looks like a good decision on my part

    thanks

    take care

    How do I do the sidebar widget? I used to know all the tricks when I was a webmaster, but honestly I never got into WordPress, Drupal, etc and have no idea how to make a widget.

    Thanks!

    And can I even use things like css, javascript, html, etc in a wordpress blog? I keep meaning to migrate my blog to Godaddy where my site’s hosted, but I work crazy hours and don’t have the time right now how to learn the wordpress coding (unless it’s really simplified).

    Okay, I got the widget part down, but should I have the copyright to wordpress or to my domain name? In your example you used the drivershout one. Can I do it to tipthedriver.com instead? That’s the domain name for my blog mapped to wordpress.

    You cannot use javascript on a WordPress.com blog.

    Sure, you can attribute the copyright to whoever owns the content on your site, whether it’s your name, your company or organization’s name, or whatever you like.

    You can use most CSS and HTML, excerpt for some exceptions that we don’t allow for security reasons. As raincoaster mentioned, you cannot add your own JavaScript. Here’s a guide to the types of code we allow on WordPress.com:
