  I am using the Adelle theme. Currently, my footer displays: “Blog at WordPress.com. | The Adelle Theme.” I would like to add “Copyright © 2014 Hometown Delights” – how can I do that? My blog is setup as a website for my business and I feel it’s important to have a copyright notice in the footer, so I’m really hoping there’s a way that I can add this.

  Also, this isn’t a big deal, but I was just curious: does the default footer message “Blog at WordPress.com. | The Adelle Theme” have to stay on or can I delete it all together?

  Thank you so much for your help! =)

  You will require an annually renewable custom design upgrade and CSS editing to have the copyright text you place inside a text widget re-positioned using position absolute so it displays in the footer. See here for details on purchasing the annually renewable custom and CSS editing:

  If you don’t have a custom design upgrade then simply place it in a text widget and put it in your sidebar.

  Thank you so much all the information! I was hoping there was another way to do it besides paying annually for the custom design upgrade, but I guess that’s what I’d have to do in order to add to my footer section.

  I’ll look over the links and go from there. I appreciate your time and help!! =)

  Thanks again,
