  I saw on another blog that they had in the footer a comment about their photos are copyrighted. How do I add a comment like that to my footer?
  Thanks
  Vicki

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

  Most of us simply place a copyright notice in a text widget and display it in our sidebar. If your want to add it to the footer that requires a custom design upgrade. See here for details on purchasing the annually renewable custom and CSS editing:

  NOTE: The only guarantee image against theft is not to post images online at all. Watermarking and posting a copyright notice are the most effective options for protecting images but will not deter those who are determined to steal. If you use the Duotone theme right click is disabled. It’s not available on any other themes here and will not become available as it creates a false sense of security. Anyone can find instructions on the internet and get around it in less than 20 seconds flat.

  Thanks Timetheif. I will add it to my sidebar. Wasn’t sure which widget to use since I am new to this blogging thing. :)

  Here’s a link to the support doc on text widgets > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/
  I also have a Copyright page that I link to from the text widget.

  I found the text widget and was able to add the copyright note and it did show up in my footer.
  Thanks for your help

  Aha! You mean your footer widget area. I thought you meant you wanted to add it to the footer links credits at “The Twenty Thirteen Theme Blog at WordPress.com. “

  Happy blogging!

  Nice pictures

  PS – unsolicited hint – you can change the title of your blog at
  Dashboard >> Settings >> General – edit Title – remember to save changes

  That will let you change your title to have individual words, not one ran together word that matches the URL of your blog
