1) Your stuff is legally copyrighted the moment you write it. Proving it is something else.
2) For better results, put a message INCLUDING YEAR, such as:
Copyright (c) 2006 by Your Name Here. All Rights Reserved.
(the all rights reserved helps with international law).
3) For best results, file a copyright form with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office - and you send it in with whatever they charge now for filing - it used to be $15 - and you send it in with copies of your work.
But really, unless you're publishing a book, you can simply put the copyright notice on and it's automatically copyrighted. In fact, under the new laws, even the notice is optional, but it's easy to do and you're foolish if you don't.
Don't confuse copyrights with trademarks or patents. A trademark is something you are known by (like the McDonald's arch), a patent protects an invention, a copyright protects your creative work.
