 * Hi guys
 * I’m using the Woo Themes Gazette template and want to edit the footer. However,
   it’s a coded theme. I’ve tried the decoders, as well as inserting some tags and

 * Not too hard to decode at [DecodeThe.Net](http://cyko.decodethe.net/). Your footer
   code is the usual footer calls and links to the theme developer and google analytics,
   etc.
