The copyright notice is actually unnecessary -- copyright is automatically
assigned to the artist whenever an original work is related.  Copyright
notices are usually placed to remind the reader that the work is protected.

There used to be certain exceptions -- for example, Brazil required the
words "All Rights Reserved".  I'm not sure where that stands now, as my
knowledge of international copyright is woefully inadequate.  :(

In your specific case, there should probably be a notice indicating that
the copyright on each article is held by its respective author, while 
the design copyright is held by Suite101.com.
