Please use this style:

div#copyright:before {
    display:block;
    content: "© Copyright 2015- Brittany N. Wakefield. Walk Worthy. All rights reserved."
}

awesome! it worked. Is there anyways I can remove the text that is already there? (The blog @ wordpress.com)

Technically, we can. But legally, we can’t :-)

WordPress.com terms of service requires that footer credits are always there and visible.

Please check the point# 11 titled Attribution in the above terms of service link.

You may absolutely adjust the look of the footer credits, as long as they remain readable and clickable.

Here is an example that makes the links gray so it blends in a little better in case you want to try it out:
```
#copyright p {
	line-height: 1;
	margin: 0;
}

#copyright p,
#copyright a {
	color: #bbb;
}
```

Hi Brittany,

The CSS can be added to the CSS tab of the Customizer. You can access the Customizer from your site’s dashboard by navigating to:

Apperance > Customize

This guide has more details on customizing your site’s CSS:

Hello Chaitanyamsv!

I would like to remove the “blog at wordpress.com” and “the hemingway rewritten theme”, and change it into “© 2015 Lintas Sertifindo Unggul. All Rights Reserved.” Please help me to find the CSS.
Thanks a lot for your response!

I am afraid we cannot delete the footer attribution as per the WordPress.com Terms of Service.

Attribution. Automattic reserves the right to display attribution links such as ‘Blog at WordPress.com,’ theme author, and font attribution in your blog footer or toolbar. Footer credits and the WordPress.com toolbar may not be altered or removed regardless of upgrades purchased.

So we will have to retain the attribution and can use the following CSS to add the copyright before the credits.
```
.site-info:before {
    display:block;
    content:"© 2015 Lintas Sertifindo Unggul. All Rights Reserved.";
}
```
We can further style it if you wish the font color to be blue or want the copyright after the credits. Please let me know.
