Modifying "Blog at WordPress.com" in footer
-
Hey there,
I’m not the most educated with this stuff, I’m just curious if I can remove, or if possible modify the footer text “Blog at WordPress.com, Customized Hero Theme”.
As you can see it looks like it takes the place of a 5th widget area, If I can remove it or change the text color it would be great but I would be happy just being able to add in a little bit of text over it.
If anyone could help me it would be great.
Thanks in advance.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Mess with the footer and your site will be suspended
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.http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions

“Mess with” and “alter” are misleading: you’re not allowed to remove the footer credits, but you can change their styling etc.
To change the color, add this and replace 456789 with the hex for the color you prefer:
.site-info a { color: #456789; }Since you’ve centered the top menu, I think you should also center the credits. For example (if you aren’t going to use footer widgets):
#colophon #tertiary { display: none; } #colophon .site-info { float: none; text-align: center; width: 100%; } .generator-link { display: inline; }Adding your own stuff before or after the credits is also possible (and allowed). For example:
#colophon .site-info:before { content: "YOUR TEXT HERE"; display: block; } -
Also, delete the YOUR AD HERE ads, because they will get your blog suspended, as pointed out above.

}Cheers for this mate, this basically gives me the option to all I asked above without breaking any rules, really appreciate it!

Just one question about this mate, is there a way I can keep the widgets, move the site info below the widgets rather than to the side, and then center both the widgets and site info?
-
You’re welcome.
Yes of course you can keep the widgets etc – that’s why I wrote “for example” in the above reply.
Are you going to use all four widget areas? -
Yep,
If I could use all 4 widget areas and then just have the site info below, all centered it would be poifect!

#colophon #tertiary { float: none; width: 100%; } #colophon .site-info { float: none; text-align: center; width: 100%; } .generator-link { display: inline; }
