    Hide the credits footer is against WordPress.com rules & ToS:

    May I remove the Admin Bar, credit links such as ‘Blog at WordPress.com’, theme, font, or toolbar links?
    All WordPress.com bloggers are required to maintain the Admin Bar (the dark bar that appears at the top of WordPress.com sites when logged in) as well as credit links in the footer, even our VIP bloggers. Please do not hide or alter text or links for the footer credits or the toolbar. Modifying the style of the footer text (i.e. colors and font size) is fine as long as it’s still readable. Using CSS, you can also add content like a copyright notice to the existing footer. If you would like to do that, you can ask in the CSS Customization forum and Staff or our community volunteers would be happy to help you do that.

    Hey there,

    Robert, Galois is absolutely correct. (Thanks Galois!)

    The footer credit is required to be displayed according to <a href=”http://en.wordpress.com/tos/
    http://en.wordpress.com/tos”>our terms of service.

    It is fine that you’ve added your personalized information, but you must add the WordPress.com boilerplate back onto your site.

    Let us know if you have any additional questions about this.

    I just need to know how to change the copyright date at bottom of my blog.

    The personalized copyright credit you added to your site can be adjusted in your widgets, here:
    https://seekingexcellence.wordpress.com/wp-admin/customize.php?url

    Click Widgets → Sidebar 1 → Text (the final tab in the list). When the Text widget opens, you can change your copyright date to 2015. Save and publish your changes.

    Hope this helps! I’ll check in with you next week about the WordPress.com footer. Thanks much.

    How to do that please?
    Thanks
