  I switched themes (and paid for a premium one) and now all of a sudden it has a footer with:

  Blog at WordPress.com. · Customized Gallery Theme.

  I would really like to get rid of this footer- it didn’t have this on the free one I using before. Help!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  That’s not allowed

  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. http://en.wordpress.com/tos/

  Custom Design – Frequently Asked Questions
  May I remove credit links such as ‘Blog at WordPress.com’, theme, font, or toolbar links?
  All WordPress.com bloggers are required to maintain the 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. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions

  Thanks- but how come not all themes have that footer? Is there a way to tell which have it which ones don’t before switching themes? Also how do I modify the style of the footer text?
