[cc-community] DeviantART does the CC thing

I recently joined "DeviantART", which is an inclusive online art
posting/sharing site. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they
support all six standard CC licenses via a standard form interface. I
didn't recall seeing them mentioned here (though maybe I just missed
them or it was posted a long time ago), so I thought maybe I should.

I've posted a few things under By-SA at:

http://digitante.deviantart.com/

I've got about a 20 year backlog of never-before-published artwork that
I'll be posting by-and-by. So this is kind of fun.

They apparently also have some kind of system for selling prints of your
work. I'm skeptical of the value of such a thing, and I don't
immediately imagine I'll be using it, but it might be worth checking out
for a more serious/professional artist than myself.

Also, there appears not to be much limit on the type of file you can
post, so long as you provide a JPG, GIF, or PNG "preview" image. I've
already tried uploading an SVG.

Cheers,
Terry
