   In my theme, I open up the footer.php file and I see this code

   </div>
       </div>
   
   <?php wp_footer(); ?>
   
   </div>
   </body>
   </html>

   Where do I put custom html and goodies like that to edit the footer? I don't see any other footer file in the entire wordpress installation, do I replace custom code with the <?php wp_content(); ?> code? What would some of you recommend?

   You could:

   A) remove the `<?php wp_footer(); ?>' and add your own (x)html here.
   B) Add your own (x)html above it or below it.
   C) You could wrap the wp_footer in HTML elements...etc..

   Save a copy of the original file and each step along the way so that if something breaks you can easily get back to where you were.

   It's very customizable.

   What exactly is the <?php wp_footer(); ?> code all about anyway?
