    You don't need to do anything to get your site copyrighted, simply creating unique content in a tangible form does it. If you want you can add a copyright symbol at the bottom of your page but it isn't necessary.

    Once your unique content is published (viewable to all), its copyrighted.

    I would echo the sentiment that the materials on your site are copyrighted right after they're created if you're in the US. It's not even necessary to put the copyright notice (though I would advise doing so). If you want to be able to enforce the copyright in court, if you're in the US, you'll have to register it with the Copyright Office (it's only $35-45).

    Let me know if you have other questions.

    Not exactly vetrox.

    Copyright notices generally have the copyright symbol, the year of the copyright, the copyright holder's name and the phrase "All Rights Reserved".

    what this cat said. you can add some other protection (mostly how much you can get if somebody infringes on your copywrite) by adding the "copywritten 2005" on there (although most sites list the current year, rather than the date the work was created)

    Ounce you write something that is tangible, it is copyright as long as it is your own. However, on the internet unless you can prove you wrote it and when. You could be up against a legal battle. A good friend of mine who runs a very high profile site. He actually assembles a book of content and submits it to the copyright office every 6 months. Which may seem like a lot of work. But its rock solid and scrappers don't have a leg to stand on.
