Important thing to remember:  it's Copyright,  not Copywrite.  It has to
do with rights,  not writing.

To copyright something,  merely include:

in the work.  Note that I have probably just given you copyright to this
article...:-)

While the "c in a circle" symbol is recognized worldwide,  the (C) version
may not be.  For safety,  just write out the word copyright and you'll
avoid any problems.

The next step,  if you actually get it published (as opposed to just
mailing a copy for someone to read) is to send two copies to the Library
of Congress.  If you get that far,  take the time to talk to PSU's student
legal services.
