  How do I customize the bottom of my web page? I want to display a business address, not a “customized wordpress theme” message. Thanks

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

  Hi there,

  Removing the footer credits is against our Terms of Service, and we ask that all WordPress.com bloggers retain them – even our VIP clients.

  You’re welcome to add your own information before or after the footer credits, as long as you don’t modify or remove them. You’d need to use CSS to do that, and you can ask for advice in the CSS Customization forum here:

  Thanks, does this apply even if the site is hosted elsewhere?

  No, if a site is hosted elsewhere, it typically says Powered by WordPress in the footer and you can remove that.

  If you’d like to move your blog to a self-hosted site, you’ll first need to obtain web hosting. We have some recommendations here:

  We have a guide for moving your site here:
