The Copyright Mark

I have been using a copyright mark on all of my blog posts. My blogs tend to be graphic intensive using digital images I have personally taken or graphics I have personally made.  I used a custom make brush in Photoshop® to stamp © Garden Gnome on all of my images and graphics.  During my latest overhaul of my cooking blog I decided to get a bit more specific with my copyright stamp by creating new brushes for each of my blogs that say © url of my blog.  It means changing brushes when getting several images ready at one time but in the end I think it will look a bit more professional.  This seems to be a growing blogging trend as well.  The marking is prominent enough to reduce copyright infringement.  Another growing trend is more prominent © markings that span a good portion of the image.  I personally don't like this method even though it is likely rather more effective at helping to curb copyright infringement.  At any rate I've discovered that there are many ways of dealing with the copyright mark.
