   Hello all - I'm new to websites, WordPress, CSS, basically all of this.

   I'm using the Sandbox theme on my site: obsoletist.net. I've created a child theme and made small modifications.

   One thing I can't figure out. In my footer, instead of what's there now, I'd like to have two things.
   Left-justified, I'd like to have "Powered by WordPress & Sandbox."
   Right-justified, I'd like to have this: "(ɔ) obsoletist."

   The justifying I think I get; what I can't figure out is how to add text. Can I even do that in my child style.css file, or do i need to edit footer.php in the theme itself?

   Any help or points in the right direction are very much appreciated. :)

   Well, update to say I got this almost solved. I edited the footer.php file to this:

   <div id="footer">
       Powered by <span id="generator-link"><a href="http://wordpress.org/" title="<?php _e( 'WordPress', 'Sandbox.' ) ?> " rel="generator"><?php _e( ' WordPress', 'Sandbox.' ) ?></a></span> &
   
       <span id="theme-link"><a href="http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/sandbox/" title="<?php _e( 'Sandbox', 'Sandbox.' ) ?>" & rel="designer"><?php _e( 'Sandbox.', 'Sandbox.' ) ?></a></span>
       <div id="footer">
         (ɔ) obsoletist.
     </div><!-- #footer -->
   
   </div><!-- #wrapper .hfeed -->
   
   <?php wp_footer() ?>
   
   </body>
   </html>

   That got what I wanted on two lines, both right-justified. I'm still trying to figure out how to left-justify one part & right-justify the other all on one line. Just in case anyone's interested. ;)

   I don't think it's a good idea to have two ID's named "footer"--- that is bound to cause trouble at some point.

   Maybe call the second one "footer_right"
   <div id="footer_right">my text to float right here</div>

   and then in your stylesheet.css add something like this:
   #footer_right {float: right;}
