For the record, I do not want to delete the designer name and links, but I would like to change the colour and some content in my footer.

Could someone please explain me how and where to change this in the css code.

Last time I tried to alter CSS code I copied the entire current style sheet and pasted it into the editor, but I was told this was not the best way to edit CSS. If it’s not done this way how is the best way to go?

Thanks in advance!

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

There are 6 selectors associated with the footer.

#bootertopbg (not sure what this one does at the moment)
#footertop (background color declaration)
#footerbg (background color declaration)
#footer
.footerleft
.footertop
.footerbottom

.footerleft is the parent of .footertop and .footerbottom.

.footertop is the top line of text
.footerbottom is of course the bottom line of text

As far as adding something to the footer, there are pseudo elements, but IE does not recognize those so over 60% of the web users would not see your addition.

The best way to add something to the footer is to put a text widget into the sidebar with that information and then reposition it down into the footer.

I suppose it’s mainly the colour I need to change more than anything, just to colour code the blog slightly.

I’ve put it in a code that I thought would work, but it doesn’t appear to be working with my theme/blog?

You have display none if #footer p
```
#footer p {
display: none;
}
```
That is keeping the text from showing up.

Perhaps if you tell me what you want to do, I can figure it out for you. It might be a little as I’m waiting on a conference call.

My stuff up above with all the footer stuff was a little incomplete which might be causing your issues.

No probs. Really I just want to change the colour of the footer background.

Here you go (I changed it to black). I included the border declaration in case you want the color of that line to a different color as well.
```
#footerbg {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #000000;
border-color: #CCCCCC;
}

#footertop {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #000000;
}
```
