How to Start Your Own Blog: Practical Steps to Success

With Bob Pimm, Esq.

This workshop will review practical legal steps to starting and operating your own blog for creative artists. As an artist, you spend hours conceptualizing and creating work.

• How do I register a domain name?


• Copyright law basics for bloggers.


• How and when should I register the copyright for my blog postings?


• Trademark law basics for bloggers (should I register a trademark for my blog)?


• What is defamation (libel & slander) and should I be worried?


• Should I operate as a formal business and should I form a California corporate entity?


• How do I work with "guest" bloggers?


• And much more!

Presenter: Bob Pimm, Esq. is an intellectual property law attorney in the San Francisco Bay Area. Bob is also the Chief Learning Officer and Director of Legal Services for California Lawyers for the Arts.
