I'm thinking about putting my photography on [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
But I'm worried about people stealing it. How can I watermark my photes so that it looks professional and not sloppy?
Photo editors I have are Picnik, Picasa, and Photofiltre.

If you are truly worried about people 'stealing' your art, I would avoid posting anything online.
Now remember, once it's online, anyone and everyone can access, view, save and share your photography. You have to understand this if you post anything online.
Now, if you are serious about having your work credited to you, remember this: as soon as you create a work of art (writing, photographs, drawings, paintings, music, etc) it is yours, and it is copyrighted from the minute you create it.
Many people may not know that fact, but it is true. You really have no true issue unless someone takes your work, benefits from it in some way and claims it as theirs. Because of this, I would try to establish your photography with at least some type of signature. Perhaps take the time to create a unique and creative signature online and apply this to every photo you post. It can be small and visually pleasing so as to not take away from the actual photograph. Good Luck!

I'm not sure how to watermark unless you use the copyright but I wouldn't put anything on the internet if you are worried about someone stealing it. You can watermark it and even put a copyright and people still find ways to steal pictures even if that meant cropping out the watermark so it looks as their own. Unless there is a way to make the page private then it's almost impossible to prevent that from happening.
