Adding an “About” link to bottom of blog

    Hi,

    I am using the Kubrick theme for my blog. I created an “About” page that I wanted to be at the bottom of the blog in the same area as the “Blog with WordPress.com” link that appears on each WordPress template.

    But I’m not sure how to reposition the link. Can anyone tell me how I can do this? I’m not an HTML or CSS expert by any means. If the theme I’m using is not conducive to this repositioning, can you tell me the name(s) of the ones that are?

    If you need to check out my blog, it’s Mocktheboss.wordpress.com.

    Thank you

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    The problem is you have to use pseudo CSS stuff to add things to the footer, and IE6, and I think IE7 do not pay any attention to the pseudo CSS, so that means it won’t show up for a good portion of the people going to your site.

    The best thing to do is to put the link in a text widget and then position that widget at the bottom of your sidebar.

    With CSS, I think you can position that particular text widget at the bottom of the sidebar area, but I’ve tried and it is beyond my knowledge at this moment.

    Unfortunately I don’t think you can move a sidebar widget to the bottom just using the HTML, but it is possible if you buy the CSS upgrade. Add the first piece of code to a text widget in your sidebar and add the second to your CSS styles, remember to paste in the URL to your about page. You will then be able to preview the changes you’ve made to see if the upgrade is worth purchasing.

    <div id="mover">
<a href="URL-HERE">About Page</a>
</div>
    #page {position:relative;}
#mover {position:absolute; bottom:7px; left:0; width:100%; text-align:center;}
