  Change it like you want and your blog will be suspended – The Blog at WordPress.com & the theme credits must stay

  Current Terms of Service:

  11. 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.

  The current policy about the footer in the support documentation:

  May I remove the ‘Blog at WordPress.com’ credit in my site’s footer?
  Although the Custom Design Upgrade certainly grants you the capability to hide the credit from your site’s footer, you are not permitted to do so. Even our VIP bloggers are required to maintain the credit.

  But adding your copyright notice is ok. Where do you want it to show? Before or after the WP credits? Same line or separate line?

  Hi @jen, CSS is most generally theme specific, and you are using a different theme than is being discussed in this thread. Also, I do not see that you have the Custom Design upgrade. You would need that in order to make a change like this.

  Adding to only the home page can be done, but can you please start a new thread in the CSS forum to avoid confusion for those coming to this thread in the future. Many thanks.
