Inserting copyright code in 2012 child theme footer php

Working with my 2012 Child Theme and attempting to follow forum advice for inserting copyright code into footer php but it doesn’t seem to be working.

Followed Esme’s advice to paste the parent footer php into my child theme css but for some reason the rest of her advice doesn’t seem to take effect. Have tried inserting the following code in various places but to no avail

<p>Copyright 2012 <?php bloginfo(‘Name’);?></p>

have pasted the footer php below and wondering if anyone can identify the place to insert it

<str<?php
/**
* The template for displaying the footer.
*
* Contains footer content and the closing of the
* #main and #page div elements.
*
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Twenty_Twelve
* @since Twenty Twelve 1.0
*/
?>
</div><!– #main .wrapper –>
<footer id=”colophon” role=”contentinfo”>
<div class=”site-info”>
<?php do_action( ‘twentytwelve_credits’ ); ?>
” title=”<?php esc_attr_e( ‘Semantic Personal Publishing Platform’, ‘twentytwelve’ ); ?>” rel=”generator”><?php printf( __( ‘Proudly powered by %s’, ‘twentytwelve’ ), ‘WordPress’ ); ?>
</div><!– .site-info –>
</footer><!– #colophon –>
</div><!– #page –>

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

So appreciate any help 🙂
