OK, So I am convinced that putting a watermark on my work is a good thing. My thinking is this: Even if some one wants my pic without my permission, they will take it off the web somehow, so I might as well put my mark on it and they can remove it if they want (the scoundrels!)
My question is this: How do I get my water mark on on the image in the first place?
My budget is non existent so free is great!. Picasa, or Gimp? Or any other freebies?

If you're on a PC, FastStone Image Viewer can do this easily. If you want to try it, I can add the steps.

In that case, good luck! I'm sure software like iPhoto and Aperture can do it.

Thanks, Steve. If this one doesn't work, try this one; same results, but some search engines seem to like the extra coding.

Here's a free watermark app for macs.

If you want your mac to do something that it doesn't already do, just do a google search for the term, preceded by the word "free" and followed by "for mac". You'll find all sorts of great stuff, free, for macs.

Way Cool! Thanks!
