as u can see the watermark is rather big, i was just wondering wich one of these i should do
1. i just put a watermark , without name, etc (if so, wat size is proper for a 800*600 image)
2. i just use my name
3. i just put my webaddress
any help?

Why you'd want to do that?
I mean watermark, name, etc.
I can't see any reason.

It stops people stealing your images, which if you hang around on this forum enough you will see once in a while

I just put © PR-Photo 2007

I use an opaque text and a font called Honey Script so that it looks more casual

You cans see some examples at http://www.pr-photo.co.uk (external link)

I use the copywrite symbol, my name, and the year. Then I just make the font opaque and put it somewhere where it can't be cropped out but won't ruin the image. Like if you're doing an urban shot and it's of a building with a straight edge somewhere, I'd put it running along that straight edge so you can't really notice it too easily.

Your watermark has too much info. Also, make it opaque.
