Interesting post, I do agree that crediting work is important, thanks again for sharing.

Jo B: That page states “A UCC notice should consist of the symbol © (C in a circle) accompanied by the year of first publication and the name of the copyright proprietor (example: © 2006 John Doe).” It gave the example in that order and everything I’ve come across says to write it in that order: symbol, date, name–as you wrote.

US copyright doesn’t specify the symbol/date/name order, it says “accompanied by the year of first publication and the name of the copyright proprietor”, so you can do symbol/date/name.

I’m going to put this into practice, especially with the Social Network site. I had been doing the title and year for some time in my porto.

Oh yes, I forgot about AP. I’ve noticed that some academic geared sites have utilities that will properly format citation for their site if one wants to cite their page on their Works Cited page. The utility usually gives an option for either MLA or APA (see above definitions) as those are the most popular in the sciences. I am an adjunct for the University of Maryland University College and I know they have links on their Library web pages for several citation formats.

Judy: Art photography is the same. It’s confusing because in the good old days, photographic paper was listed w x h. But in the fine-art photography world, this rule applies: H x W x D.

Patricia: It applies only if you want credit for it! There may be different copyright rules for jewelry. I know there is for functional art and some crafts materials.

Marie: Another popular style book is the AP. In grad school, people used either Chicago or AP (Associated Press). I think it was my advisor who got me to using Chicago Manual of Style–or perhaps it was a department rule. I would have had no idea what MLA or APA were.

Tina: The rule only applies if you use the ” character in place of letters or words. I don’t know what happens if you use inches! But I’m fairly certain that you’d only use it once at the end regardless of the spacing you use.

I do hope you noticed that I mentioned centimeters under the HxWxD heading. Very well aware that we’re the last to evolve.

Marie, sorry. MLA is Modern Language Association (yay!) and APA is American Psychological Association. I was brought up on MLA so you are not imagining a bias. LOL

Angelita, you have to use either an “alt” code or, if using a PC run the character map (charmap.exe) in the command window and scroll through the table of characters. Then click on the symbol you want and it appears in a little box below the table. The rest will be obvious. © also has keystrokes hold down alt key and type 0169 on the keypad at the right side of your keyboard. Its unicode is U+00A9.

Judy, I seems to recall unofficially photographs being designated differently as well. But is it possible it gets changed back to painting standard when referring to it in the art sense?

What does MLA and APA stand for?
Not all Abbreviations are internationally understood BTW.
