 * Hi
 * I don’t really know what I did, I thought I removed the ‘Powered by WordPress…’
   in the footer file, but now my page is all white -the background is gone!
 * Help.

 * please post link to your website.
    what theme are you using? have you checked
   the theme customizer or theme options area? which file did you edit to remove
   the powered by wordpress? do you have a child theme step or did you make a change
   to the original theme files?

 * I am running Responsive Theme.
    Yes, well nothing wrong in the customizer what
   I can see. I changed the file under Apperances > Editor > footer.php
 * Oooh…man…I should have left it alone 😀

 * my suggestion for future is to have a child theme that can be used to manage 
   changes.
