  Hello

  I want to edit the footer of my blog. I surfed the net and learnt that I need to edit the footer.php
  So, where exactly is this footer.php? How to access it? Where can I find it in my Dashboard?

  Thanks in advance! :)

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

  On self-hosted wordpress sites using the software from wordpress.ORG, you can edit footer.php (which will then be promptly overwritten on the first theme update that comes along).

  However, we cannot edit the underlying theme files here at wordpress.COM. This is a multi-user platform which means we all share the same underlying theme and wordpress files. Any change by one person would change it for everyone using that theme.

  Also, hiding the existing theme credits in the footer is not allowed either.

  If you know some CSS, you can use some inline CSS to style and move a text widget down into the footer area to do something like add a copyright statement.
