Copywriting my blog?

    I was going to start updating my blog again at
    http://jbmedia2.blogspot.com with business and marketing info. All the content is unique and based on my opinion and experience and so on.

    I was wondering is it possible to copywrite it with
    http://creativecommons.org/

    Is it worth the time?

    Thanks :)

    EDIT: Just realized I posted this in wrong section. Sorry guys, if a mod could move this it would be appreciated.

    You mean copyright not copywrite.
    If you're doing this because you don't want people to copy it, in theory, you don't need to do anything, because you automatically own the copyright to your own material - text, images, photos, unless you've signed it away. However, in practice, once it's published on the web, it's very difficult to protect unless you've got the time, legal facilities and budget to pursue cases of infringement.
    Creative commons is mostly about setting conditions allowing your work to be copied - although you can choose a licence that completely prohibits it.

    Not worth it.
    Unless you can make thousand of dollar if you copyright your blog.

    But if you saw an article copied from you but the author is not you, you may feel angry. Yes, I have met this problem then I had to fax something to Google to delete the copy.
