  And yet… another question. Can I edit the footer text? I can make it transparent, and make the blog info disappear, but I’d prefer to have a © line and email down at the bottom. I can change the color of the text, but I can’t find where to change the text.

  You can use pseudo CSS classes to add text to the footer, but the problem is IE does not support it so 60% of the internet users would not see the changes.

  There is no way to actually edit what is there since we don’t have access to the underlying theme PHP script files.

  Wow, no footer? dang. Well, I’m pretty far along, and I’m scared to screw it up… but is there a way to add a widget without messing up what’s already there? I’d like to have contact info at the bottom of each page… even if it’s under the link/blogroll section on the left.

  I tried creating another div, like the one on the right on the home page, but that made the blogroll on the left disappear.

  You can reposition a text widget as a footer quite easily though. You already have a text widget in the second sidebar it is just hidden with the CSS. Try the code below to move and style it however you want:

  #footer {display:none;}
  body #secondary {display:block; margin:0;clear:both; background-color:#455F4D; width:100%; color:#eee;}
  #secondary .widget {border:none; padding:0; margin:0;}

  Oh that looks promising hallluke. I’ll give that a try.
