 * I have added a second customized footer.php page called footer1.php and located
   in the same folder on my server. It shows up in my admin area now.
 * What does this code need to be to call it up right?
 * <?php get_footer(); ?>
 * Thanks!

 * gotmerchant,
 *     ```
       <?php get_footer(); ?>
       ```
   
 *  will only call on the footer.php file. Try this instead:
 *     ```
       <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/footer1.php'); ?>
       ```

 * Also:
 *     ```
       get_header('myheader'); // will include header-myheader.php
   
       get_footer('myfooter'); // will include footer-myfooter.php
   
       get_sidebar('mysidebar'); // will include sidebar-mysidebar.php
       ```
