the poorman's way of doing it is to print them out and stick them in an envelope and mail them to yourself and dont open the envelope...the postmark is what makes it legit.

As an editor of an online informational website, I can assure you that it is not necessary to go to the expense of having your material copyrighted. It's expensive to have done. The fact is that as soon as you print or post any words that are yours, they continue to be yours forever. If you ever found someone using your work, then you can approach them and usually they will back off. If they don't, then you can have your work copyrighted should you want to instigate a lawsuit.
So, if it makes you feel better, just add a tag at the end of your work stating that it is copyrighted. That is usually enough to keep people from deciding that they would like to claim your work as their own.

You can do this at the US Copyright Office – see the last 3 links in the source box. The application is fairly simple & the cost is $30 per application (it will likely rise to $45 by July 1).
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

All copyrights are issued by the library of congress. They are not free buts its also not expensive. Write them and ask for the forms they will mail the to you free of charge. Its been awhile but the last time I asked its was 5 dollars for processing.
