If you are using a blogger platform then it is very easy to disable text selection on it, just follow the steps:

• Go To Blogger
• Now Go To Layout>>Add Gadget>>HTML/Javascript
• Just Paste Following Code And Save Gadget:

<script type="text/javascript">
/************************************************ Disable select-text script- © Dynamic Drive (www.dynamicdrive.com)* This notice MUST stay intact for legal use* Visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full source code***********************************************/
//form tags to omit in NS6+:var omitformtags=["input", "textarea", "select"]
omitformtags=omitformtags.join("|")
function disableselect(e){if (omitformtags.indexOf(e.target.tagName.toLowerCase())==-1)return false}
function reEnable(){return true}

document.onselectstart = new Function ("return false");

//For browser NS6
if (window.sidebar){
  document.onmousedown = disableText;
  document.onclick = reEnable;
}
</script>
