 * Couldn’t find anywhere in Firebug that related to p or that text color (except
   the crossed out bit, see above) so just put this in the css and it worked!!
 *     ```
       p
       {
       color:#ffffff;
       }
       ```
   
 * Whoop!!
    …a pathetic ‘whoop’ but is after 2 hours of trying
 * Thanks @AndrewNevins

 * Putting #FFFFFF here didn’t work either:
 *     ```
       .page-id-15139 .main,
       .page-id-15139 .container,
       .page-id-15139 .top {
       width:1000px;
       color:#FFFFFF
       }
       ```

 * weird, I put `text-align:right;` instead of center and now it’s centered in relation
   to the banner.
 * For other ultra noobs like me, style.css now has:
 *     ```
       .my-copyright {
          width: 700px;
          margin: 0;
       text-align: right;
       }
       ```

   for the solution! 😀

 * [@alieneila](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alieneila/) Ah great, thanks!
   Now the text is on one line and almost in the centre, but still a little more
   over to the left. Is there a way to move it over to the right a bit more? e.g.
   so that it centers in relation to the banner (in twentyten theme)

 * Thank you v much! I’m trying [@wpyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/)‘
   s solution first, then I’ll try [@alieneila](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alieneila/)‘
   s.
 * I put
 * `<div class="my-copyright">Copyright blah blah blah</div>` after `</div><!-- #
   site-info -->` and before `<div id="site-generator">`
 * in my child theme’s footer.php
 * [@wpyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) so far I’ve got the text
   to show on the page and run along the bottom (not get stuck in a widget area)
   but the first part of my text starts one line above and way over on the right
   and the rest starts right over on the left hand side, one line down.
 * I tried different positions of the php in footer.php but that made no difference,
   all looked the same (except if you put it after the wrapper)
 * Then I tried all different values for margin (I don’t know what the standard 
   values for margins are! :s) and it still won’t centre or go on one line
 *     ```
       .my-copyright {
          width: 700px;
          margin: 0 auto 0;
       }
       ```
   
 * I’m looking up margin values now to see what what values they should have but
   if you could tell me where I’m going wrong that’d be great!

 * Thank you [@alchymyth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alchymyth/) and [@wpyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/)!
   I’ve found the location in my child theme’s footer.php but have no idea what 
   to write to get the text I want to show up! I’ve been trying to work out the 
   solution but failed so far! I don’t know enough about how php and css works 🙁
 * In my style.css file I have:
 * `#site-generator{display: none;}`
 * and this in footer.php
 *     ```
       get_sidebar( 'footer' );
       ?>
   
       			<div id="site-info">
       				<a href="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) ); ?>" rel="home">
       					<?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?>
       				</a>
       			</div><!-- #site-info -->
   
       			<div id="site-generator">
       				<?php do_action( 'twentyten_credits' ); ?>
       				<a href="<?php echo esc_url( __( 'http://wordpress.org/', 'twentyten' ) ); ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Semantic Personal Publishing Platform', 'twentyten' ); ?>" rel="generator"><?php printf( __( 'Proudly powered by %s.', 'twentyten' ), 'WordPress' ); ?></a>
       			</div><!-- #site-generator -->
   
       		</div><!-- #colophon -->
       	</div><!-- #footer -->
       ```
   
 * is there somewhere I can insert the actual text I want to show on the page?

 * I found a sort of solution. Still not exactly what I want, but better than nothing!
 * UBER NOOBIE INSTRUCTIONS:
    Go to Twitter account / settings/ widgets choose your
   options – e.g. for appearance etc including setting your Twitter username and
   domain name of website where you want to embed your Twitter profile timeline 
   Then press save and it generates the code for you. Then paste this code into 
   your wordpress page making sure tab is on HTML not VISUAL and then click at the
   start of it and press the ‘code’ button then click at the end of this code and
   click ‘/code’ button update and the Twitter feed appears on your page (rather
   than in a widget area)
 * Problem is it’s very narrow – although you can set height in Twitter can’t see
   how to set width, so it just positions left of the page.
 * Would like to have got a news feed went across the whole page up to the side 
   bar so if anyone knows how to do this I’d be v grateful! 🙂

 * Interestingly (or, at least for a novice), when I put a blank content.php file
   in my child theme folder, the ‘search’ seems to work, but it no longer ‘finds’
   anything on the site (even though I enter a search term I know is there and it
   used to find) and the message changes: it says- ‘nothing found’ in some browsers,
   or else, “search results for: …” with no results (instead of bringing up excerpts
   and the ‘continue reading’ text/link). However, when I deleted the blank “content.
   php” from the child theme folder, the old search message is back (including ‘
   continue reading’) and it ‘finds’ my search term items again.

   I read somewhere that you can’t use the exact same code in both the functions.
   php of the parent and of the child theme (otherwise you get an error message?)..
   is that true of content.php? Does that mean I should save a blank file (save 
   it as content.php) and then just put the small amount of php code in that relates
   to ‘search results’ ‘continue reading’ text (whatever that code is), and then
   modify it, or should I make an entire copy of content.php in the parent file 
   and then put that in the child theme folder (e.g. which has all the parent php
   code) and just modify the bit of that code I want to change? Thanks!

 * Do I need to put any other php files in the child theme folder (at the moment
   I have only style.css), or can I just save a new file as contents.php, paste 
   in the relevant php code (which I guess I can find with Firebug) and then change
   the wording, and put that in the child theme folder?

 * When the search results come up on my site, at the end of the excerpts there 
   is the text: “continue reading” which I want to change to something else.
    I’m
   using twentyeleven theme with a child theme. Is it possible to change this text
   simply by putting something in the style.css in my child theme folder? (rather
   than putting a php file in the child theme folder and tweaking as above). Thanks!(
   and apologies if this is a stupid question!)
