Sounds like you are using one of those evil “DISTURB NOT MY FOOTER LINKS OR SUFFER LARGE AND HUGE!” themes.
If that’s the case, lose that theme like you would avoid a bad infection and use a theme from here instead.

P.S. Themes that prevent you from modifying the code really fall into the category of evil and stupid. It doesn’t matter how attractive the look is, coding in things like that is an abuse.
