    Hi there!

    Many WordPress.com writers, photographers, and artists use the footer to add a copyright notice to their internal pages and blog posts.

    Click Appearance → Widgets and add a Text widget to one of your sidebars. Add your copyright info there and save.

    You’ll notice that the sidebar widgets on The Columnist theme will appear BELOW the content on the page, rather than in the side column.

    The Columnist theme is designed to have widgets display in areas with single posts, so the widgets won’t be displayed on your blog’s home page, but they will appear on static pages and posts.

    For more information about your theme:

    Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks much and happy blogging!

    Thank you!

    I had a WordPress blog a couple of years ago that was hosted by GoDaddy. I was able to edit/customize the headers and footers etc. by going into the editor and inserting code.

    Do I need to pay for an upgrade to have that same ability for customization?

    Thanks again for your help.

    Hello again!

    In order to have that level of customization, you’ll need to move back to a self-hosted blog, rather than a WordPress.com hosted site.

    Here are the differences between the WordPress.com and WordPress.org options:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    If you choose to move from WordPress.com to a self-hosted instance of WordPress, this guide will step you through the process of moving your site to a WordPress.org instance:

    As we only support sites hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new site – including the importing of the file – must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:
