  I want to edit or remove the footer on my free WordPress blog. Plus, can I remove the word Blog from it, so in search engine it does not say blog. Mine has a lot of static pages so it is really a site with a blog roll. thanks.

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

  We are not allowed to remove footer credit links.

  No, you can’t. The whole “Blog at WordPress.com” thing is something you must display; it’s in the terms of service, and getting rid of it will get your blog suspended. You can ADD things to it if you have the Custom Design upgrade, but you can’t remove that text or the link, or the info about the theme you’re using.

  May I remove credit links such as ‘Blog at WordPress.com’, theme, font, or toolbar links?
  All WordPress.com bloggers are required to maintain the credit links, even our VIP bloggers. Please do not hide the footer credits or the toolbar with CSS after purchasing a Custom Design upgrade. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions

  May I edit my information contained on the left side inside the black footer? If so, how?
