 * Now before folks go ham on me using the Padd Solutions theme, it is only temporary
   until I can teach myself how to design a theme akin to it’s framework.
 * I’ve noticed in my searches on google that Padd Solutions has put hidden links
   in different scripts within it’s theme. The main one I want out right now is 
   the one placed in the footer.php, and when I go to delete the
 * **<?php padd_theme_credits(); ?>** and **$tracker = Padd_Theme_Option::get(‘tracker_bot’,”);
   
   if (!empty($tracker)) { echo stripslashes($tracker);  codes, it gives me a white
   screen with the message “something wrong”
 * Now I just need the links at the bottom gone is really my main issue. If anyone
   can direct me to a tutorial where I can design my own theme from scratch that
   has a similar framework, I’m open to that as well.
 * I thank you for your time. Peace and Blessings

 * Fixed it…well kind of
 * In the prelude.php, I deleted everything there and it erased ALL of the footer
   info, including the copyright information -_- but no hidden link (that I can 
   see)
 * Still if anyone can recommend any tutorials on making a site from scratch, all
   ears
 * Edit: my site is groundflow.net

 * You could start here: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development](http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development)
 * There are lots of resources online — Google will help you find them. Videos, 
   tutorials, etc. But reading the codex (linked to above) will also give tons of
   info as well as links to other resources.
