  At the bottom of my page is the footer ‘Blog at WordPress.com. | [Theme Name]’

  How do I remove this?

  you can’t – remove it and your site will be suspended

  Current Terms of Service:

  May I remove the Admin Bar, credit links such as ‘Blog at WordPress.com’, theme, font, or toolbar links?

  All WordPress.com bloggers are required to maintain the Admin Bar (the dark bar that appears at the top of WordPress.com sites when logged in) as well as credit links, even our VIP bloggers. Please do not hide or alter text or links for the footer credits or the toolbar. Modifying the style of the footer text (i.e. colors and font size) is fine as long as it’s still readable.

  you are welcome

  I don’t think many people look at the footer anyway – add some real content to your site and the footer gets pushed way down – once in a while people ask me where I am hosted – I tell them I have the same host as such minor folks as CNN.COM
