You should apply to register it with the The Patent office
because registered copyrights are more easily defended as opposed to unregistered

Copyright Law probably differs from one country to another. Usually you can claim copyright by stating 'Copyright C. Lyon October 2006' but you will have one heck of a job fighting to prove your copyright if someone pinches your site and alters it for their own purposes. It's very difficult to prove, especially on the Internet worldwide. There's a very good book called The Artists and Writers Year Book which explains in plain English what the current copyright laws are for the UK.

The default rule is that's its already copyrighted. But you can gild the lilly and say so. And you could deposit copies with the appropriate authority (the Library of Congress in the USA). But neither that nor any special marking is a prerequisite anymore.

You may copyright it but it is impossible to prevent anybody taking the text and downloading images. The truth is you wouldn't know if they did unless you came across them in some way.
You have to remember you are putting the site into the public domain.

it already is, anything you create by yourself is automatically your copyright
