 * I would like help in changing my footer. I don’t know how to change the html 
   to what I want.
    This is what’s there now:
 * _[Code moderated as per the [Forum Rules](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome).
   Please use the [pastebin](http://wordpress.pastebin.com)]_
 * And it says “Action Step Coaching” on the left and “proudly powered by wordpress”
   on the right.
 * I would like it to say: (c)2010 Action Step Coaching All rights reserved.
 * Thank you.

 * I think this will work.

 * Place “All Rights Reserved” inside of the tag if you want it to be part of the
   link.

 * Just an afterthought… so many people modify the default theme only to discover
   that when they do an upgrade, the default theme is overwritten, and all of their
   efforts are gone. Granted, this does not happen to individuals who
    A) make regular
   backups of any files they alter after editing B) Choose to take advantage of 
   the [Child Theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) method to modify the
   default theme, or C) Properly rename the default theme to prevent it from being
   overwritten at any future point by an upgrade.
 * But it’s worth a reminder to anyone who might choose to modify the default theme.
