Theme Author Is MIA

I am using The Blue Sky Beach Theme. I am trying to locate the author and his site has been under construction for a couple months.
My Issue is I am trying to add a few links into my footer. The only thing that is in my footer is the author, theme and two other click-able names.
The footer php is scrambles and copyrighted. Itried to add my links onto the end but they don’t show up. Any advice would be a great start.
Thanks
Tim
