 * Hello 🙂
 * I’m trying to change my site’s footer message.
    Instead of the wordpress link
   and theme,
 * I would like to put “TinyPinc Miniatures 2010-2016”
 * How do I do that with the current coding I have?
    I’m new to this, hope someone
   can help me rewrite it haha. I get so confused with the coding…
 *     ```
       <div class="site-info">
       					<a>"><?php printf( esc_html__( 'Proudly powered by %s', 'dyad' ), 'WordPress' ); ?></a>
       					<span class="sep"> | </span>
       					<?php printf( esc_html__( 'Theme: %1$s by %2$s.', 'dyad' ), 'Dyad', '<a href="http://wordpress.com/themes/" rel="designer">WordPress.com</a>' ); ?>
       				</div><!-- .site-info -->
       			</div><!-- .footer-bottom-info -->
       ```
   
 * Thank you 🙂

 * Hi there tinypinc!
 * What you want to do is create a child theme that way when the theme gets updated
   you won’t lose those changes. Depending on where that line is you want to copy
   that file into your child theme and make the changes accordingly.
 * Hope that helps you out!
