  refers to http://www.wiml4538.com

  I have been asked to adjust the footer of this site .. someone has mentioned the way to do this is in Dashboard > Appearance > Editor … footer.php

  problem is, my Dashboard > Appearance has several options, but “editor” isn’t one of them.

  Any help appreciated.

  this IS a wordpress hosted blog .. might that be the reason ‘editor’ isn’t shown?

  The instructions you found are for a self-hosted wordpress installation.

  We cannot edit the underlying theem PHP script files here at wordpress.COM because this is a multi-user platform which means we all share the same underlying theme and wordpress files. Any change by one person would change it for everyone using that theme.
