  That gives credit to the designer of your theme.
  It may well be possible to upgrade CSS and hide that credit, but it is not good manners.
  Without the credit, it appears that you are making yourself seem to have made the design of the theme yourself.

  Ummm. well…

  WordPress.com IS providing you with a free blogging platform.
  (putting their logo on sites they provide at no charge.)

  Indeed, take note that it’s dot COM indicating that this is a commercial endeavor, not a charity.

  You could buy the CSS upgrade. But do that only if you have experience and knowledge about using CSS. There are few volunteers with experience who provide advice about it.

  You can experiment with css for free, though your changes won’t “stick” until you buy the upgrade.
