Are you just looking for something generic? You might say something like this.

All images and text, where not otherwise indicated, copyright 2006 XXXX.

Place what timjpriebe suggested at the bottom of every page and in your terms place something like:

animefanlee.com (and its licensors or suppliers, as the case may be) owns all proprietary and intellectual property rights in the web site (including text, graphics, logos, icons and sound recordings) and the software and other material underlying and forming part of the services and the web site.

1. You may not without our prior written permission, in any form or by any means:

1. Adapt, reproduce, copy, store, distribute, print, display, perform, publish or create derivative works from any part of this web site; or

2. Commercialise, copy, or on-sell any information, or items obtained from any part of this web site.

What is not included in the notice, is not included. So it is only necessary to state that the web design is copyright to you.

Like: Copyright 2006, all layout and webdesign, Name here - location.

I know how paranoid some are about using their name and location on the internet, but if you don't the copyright is as useless as a lead balloon.

"Asheville", I have a daughter who lives in Rock Hill. I stayed down there a few years ago, and worked a pipeline job for about a year. But my life long home has been here in WNC.

I'm trying to re-finish my photography site, but its slow going - or maybe lack of motivation?. I changed the complete layout, and now I am trying to re-build the albums - its getting closer though. Laughing out loud
