  I built the website through wordpress.com and I’m currently trying to add google analytics to it. I’ve looked around the forums and I see everyone being pointed in the direction of editing the footer.php. Is this only available through the premium version? Thanks in advance for the help!

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

  WordPress.COM runs Google Analytics on our blogs, but only those who pay for a $299. per year US for the Business upgrade bundle can view them. Business bundle details http://store.wordpress.com/plans/business/

  WordPress.com provides free blogs and hosts them free of charge. There are no bandwidth charges. All WordPress.com blogs come with 3000 megabytes (~3 GBs) of space for storing uploaded files and images. Free features are listed here https://en.wordpress.com/features/

  We cannot access and edit the PHP or HTML underlying WordPress.COM hosted blogs.

  Removal of footer credit links is a Terms of Service violation. Though removing footer credit links, which leads to the untrue assumption that you designed the theme and are hosting it is not allowed, it’s possible to add your own text to the footer area using CSS if you have purchased the Business bundle or Premium bundle of upgrades containing the Custom Design upgrade. Then you can include styling credit if you have done any unique styling and/or include a copyright notice.

  See here for details of all 3 plans http://store.wordpress.com/bundles/ offered by WordPress.com.
  Premium bundle details http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/

  Note that each upgrade bundle applies to a single blog only and is for a single year only when it is due to be renewed.

  If you have purchased that upgrade please use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can copy and paste your text into a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need.

  Added info:
  If all you want to include is a copyright many bloggers do that by including a copyright notice in a text widget.

  Some like myself link that text widget notice to a copyright page like this one http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/copyright/
