The perfect idea, perfect plan, but how to protect it?

    I have no skills with website scripting. Which is becoming a huge problem for me because I have a skill. I skill that is usless without that skill.

    I'm what you'd say I have website invention ideas. I come up with the most neat and potential idea's for websites. It's crazy. Some, I can honestly bet my life have never been done and are million dollar potential sites easy.

    Ok, ok, I'll get to the point.

    Let's say I made a whole Blue-print plan on a website. A full essay on it with one heck of a lot of detail on how the site would work.

    Is there any way that this can be copyrighted for the security of it not being stolen by someone hired for webdesigning?

    I'm sure 9 out of 10 website designers would probably just scrap the designing and take the site themselves.
    (yes, I asked this question a month ago, but I didn't get much of an answer)

    You can print, write it down and send it to you by registered mail. Keep it close until you need it., with all the receipts.

    Cheap and works if you can't effort otherwise.

    Poor man's copyright is a myth, it doesn't work, it has never worked and it will never work.

    I know it is difficult, but if you have an idea keep it to yourself.

    Isn't there a way you can register some kind of patent on the idea so nobody can redo it?
