Good image watermarking software?

I want a good, free program that will let me put a basic watermark on all my digital (JPEG) photography files en masse (As in, on every single photo), preferably also one that can add metadata (Creator name, e-mail) as well.
Something easy to use, and that works on a large scale, I want this to be fire and forget before I start my new consolidated photography thread :D .
Thanks.

I just did a bit of Googling, and found Link1, Link2 and Link3. I have no idea though if any of those are any good.

I googled as well, and the first 2 programs I foundwere crap, third didn't allow watermarking in the free version, and the 4th tried to slap a watermark of the site it came from on all the photos permanently. (Good thing I was using copies).
Hence my asking if anyone here has experience with an easy to use thing. Thanks though :)

Paint.Net + a layer and EXIFER

That's what I use.

Irfanview can do it.
File -> Batch conversion -> Use advanced options -> Set advanced options -> Add overlay text -> Settings
You can set the coordinates of the watermark (its text-only though) etc.

Would you believe that I tried and did that last night :P . It works well though, with enough fiddling, although it breaking words and lines (Solved only by trial and error) sucks balls.
See the results for yourself :)
