Do I need a legal statement on my blog and how do I write one?

As a blogger, you'll want to make sure that the information you're sharing is correct and accurate. You don't want to be accused of defamation or libel if you've made an error in the content of your blog.

The best way to ensure that your blog is legally sound is to include a legal statement at the bottom of each page. This statement should clearly outline what you are writing about (the topic), who wrote it (your name and contact information), and what other people are allowed to use the material in their own projects (you can list any attribution sources in this statement). It's also helpful to include a link back to the original source for your quote or article so readers can verify if they want more information from that source.

If you don't have access to a lawyer who can help draft the document for you, there are plenty of online resources that can help you write a legal statement for your blog.
