  The WordPress at the bottom of your blog is a Terms of Service requirement – remove it and your blog can be suspended.

  For the other things – just put a blank text widget in the sidebar and the default Widgets will go away.

  (1) If you do not want to use widgets at all displaying in the sidebar then go here > Appearance > Widgets place an empty text widget at the top of the sidebar.

  (2) We cannot remove or hide the theme designer link or the wordpress.com links from the footers of our blogs. Using CSS editing to do that can result in a deleted blog.

  (3) We cannot add themes at wordpress.COM, we are limited to the themes found in the dashboard under appearance > themes. Themes found on the internet are for self-hosted wordpress blogs using the software from wordpress.ORG. Id what you want is to place a copyright there then your can simply use a text widget to do that.

  If you have CSS editing experience, you can get the paid custom CSS upgrade and renew it annually. It will allow you to stylize the appearance of themes you find here > Appearance > Themes, but it does not allow you to change the functionality, by editing the underlying template. It does not allow you to remove footer links to the theme designer or to wordpress.com. Also note that CSS is theme specific, so you cannot use the CSS stylesheets from other themes with the themes here at wordpress.COM.

  Since there is no official Staff support for the CSS upgrade, and precious little Volunteer support, I recommend that you don’t buy the upgrade unless you have at least moderate understanding of HTML and CSS because you must be prepared to do the work on your own.

  If you are considering purchasing the upgrade, you can go to Appearance > Edit CSS. There wordpress has provided a preview function where you can try before you buy.

  If you do purchase the upgrade be sure to read this article before starting your editing > http://csswiz.wordpress.com/2009/10/15/if-you-have-the-wp-com-css-upgrade/

  If you are into hacking themes and templates we cannot so that on wordpress.com blogs. Consequently, you may be better served to hire a web host and get a free software install from wordpress.ORG and self host. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
