I've been putting watermarks on the larger versions of my image files in the PAW set for a while. An example can be seen here:
http://homepage.mac.com/ramarren/photo/PAW7/large/03-half.jpg That's actually little bolder/more intrusive than I would prefer, but putting in watermarks is fussy and depends on the base image. I've got a Photoshop script that does that style which I've been meaning to re-work. Lightroom can also apply a simple watermark to an image on Export but I see no explicit way of controlling where it appears or what font/ size/transparency is applied. For example, here were two files exported at the same time: http://homepage.mac.com/godders/by-the-window-2187a.jpg http://homepage.mac.com/godders/friends-2188.jpg What's in the watermark will be what you've applied to the image in the IPTC metadata "copyright" tag. EG: http://homepage.mac.com/godders/tp-2271.jpg Aside from the content of the watermark and the style you want to use, if you need to watermark a bunch of existing JPEGs, various have recommended iWatermark in the past. http://www.scriptsoftware.com/iwatermark/ I've not actually used it yet myself but it sure looks like a good tool to try.
