Creating copyright watermarks

[John S]

What is the easiest way to create a copyright watermark with my name.  I found the copyright symbol under custom shapes but it just seems tedious to add my name and adjust the layer.  Just want something quicker.  Using CS3 Photoshop.  Thanks for any help.

ALT + 0 1 6 9 on the numeric pad is the ASCII code for ©

A text layer with opacity adjusted to taste recorded as an action would be one quick way to do it.

Thanks Jay, but I thought about it and I read how to do it as a custom shape without having to type in anything, all that might be changed is the opacity.  It was in an older photoshop user from December 2005 using CS2.  Thanks again for the reply.
