Add a Disclaimer to Your Blog

A client asked me to add a disclaimer to his blog.

A disclaimer is a statement that basically holds you harmless from prosecution. Disclaimers can be placed in the footer or sidebar, if short, or on a page of its own; or even at the bottom of your blog posts or comments form.

I chose to place the disclaimer above the center column which contained his blogs. I found the code from myhttp://my.opera.com/nicomen/blog/show.dml/415526 and modified it for my client’s needs.

/***** Disclaimer ***************/
#content:before {
content: “The opinions and statements of the blogger are just that. They may not reflect the ministry as a whole. Statements of ‘fact’ by the blogger may not have been verified by the blogger or may have been interpreted incorrectly by the blogger. The blogger reserves the right to reply to only those comments he chooses to respond to.”;

background-color: #ffffcc;

padding: 5px;
white-space: normal;
margin-bottom: 15px;
margin-right: 10px;
float: none;

display: block;
}

It might come in handy sometime, so I thought I’d post it.
