If you support Creative Commons copyright licensing, you can use this as a footer:
<style>
.footer {
margin: 0;
text-align: left;
color: #686868;
font-style: italic;
font-size: 85%;
}
.footer img {
float: left;
padding: 0 5px 20px 0;
margin: 3px 5px 20px 0;
}
</style>
<p class="footer"><span><a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us/"><img src="http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by/3.0/us/88x31.png" alt="Creative Commons License"></a></span>This work, excluding any content linked via another source/website, is licensed under a <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us/">Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 United States License</a>.

It would look like this:

About csstemplates
Based on the excellent suggestion by digdug, this community is to share style sheets/.css templates you can use for posts. If you're a .css expert, we'd welcome some experienced experts to become moderators.
Please do not redefine standard html tags in your templates (e.g., don't do this: blockquote { font-size:30px; }), as it can cause problems with comments that use those tags. Always create your own classes - e.g.:
<style>.my-blockquote { font-size:30px; }</style>
<div class="my-blockquote">my very large blockquote</div>

This is great. We must add this to our enhanced functionality queue. We should add a checkbox at post submission time that easily puts Creative Commons at the bottom.
Queued.
