 * Hi testarn,
 * Welcome to WordPress! You can remove those two lines from the footer. I’m not
   sure what you mean by built in options, but you may want to look at creating 
   a child theme and then copying the footer template to your child theme. Then 
   you will be able to safely edit the file without fear that your changes will 
   be overridden when an update is released for the Sydney theme. To access your
   website’s HTML & CSS code, there are a few things to consider such as are you
   on a self-hosted WordPress site? Do you have FTP access? If you’re on a wordpress.
   com website, the code isn’t going to be accessible for editing, but on a self-
   hosted site, the code will be accessible by connecting to your server through
   FTP.
 * Hope that helps.
 * Lauren
