I just downloaded Picasa 3, its a free all be it basic image editing suite, which you can crop your pics to size, brighten them up, etc if they are too dark, but it also has a useful add text function. You can write anything you want onto your image in a variety of different fonts and then just make it as transparent as you want, save it and thats it, its permanently a part of the picture. When you then upload the image to Photobucket or whatever upload service you use, it is retained and cannot be removed.
Just make sure you put your tag somewhere on the image where cutting it off would make the image look a bit odd, or better still splash it across the entire image and make it transparent so that you can still see the picture underneath. Perfect if you sell on E bay too cos it proves they are your pictures if you watermark them with your user name, instead of having a written piece of paper next to your item to prove you own it.
