hello fellow programmers and web designers . i downloaded a template for a site i was trying to develop but i have been able to edit every thing in the html content of the template apart from the authors name which is usually below the blog(i attached a picture of the name am talking about). i made some improvement during my search, i found the name of the author and what i need to remove in the footer but once i remove it the site only redirects to the site of the distributor or author of the template pls kindly help me out.

Remove the <href> tag that links to the author's website, or replace with your own link if you want to direct it to your site

E.g

<div class="copyright">Powered by <a href="http://www.defaultsite.com/">Author</a> </div>
Change to something like this:
<div class="copyright">Powered by <a href="http://www.yoursite.com/">YourName</a> </div>
Or
<div class="copyright">Powered by <a>YourName</a> </div> or something

the problem is that i have checked the whole code searched i can find the link but i could only see the code that controls the function . whenever i try to remove that line of code the website redirects

Is it a one-page site? I thought you said you have it downloaded on your PC? What are you using to edit?

Stop clicking on the link while attempting to edit it,you could just highlight and delete it or use click on the line where the code is and then use your keyboard arrow key to navigate your way down to the link and backspace all.

i highlighted it has i should but it seems like if i remove the code it is programmed to automatically redirect to the autor's page donot know how thats possible ... i downloaded the template so that i can have time to check well am using notepad++ to check it

Send me a link, let me check it out

http://www.dammylarry..com/ that is the link to the website ... u can check the footer for the links am talking about

i have been able to move the location from left to right

I didn't see any thing at the footer..check through allthe associated file that came with your download and check for any relationship, what you want to do can't be difficult.

Send me a link to download the file so as to check myself or do you have a remote desktop connection so I can edit it directly for you on your PC, with that I can view your computer from here and see exactly what you are doing.

Aren't you suppose to be able to edit it through your bloggerr control panel or something?

i am using my schools wifi its kinda fast but i dont have the knowledge of that kind of technology abt u viewing my pc from hia.......

mayb u can tell me how to go abt it... i can edit my html on google blogger

Go and paste your code somwhere I can view from here

I asked you earier if you could send me the link but you didn't until now..I will download it and checkit out for ya

thanks will be waiting

Done, so what do you want to write in place of Sora Template and the link?

Just to be sure, in the rar file, you have the documentation folder in which you have an index.html file, right? And it is the index.htlml file you intend to edit the copyright info and link?

Note: refresh you device or pc every 10 seconds to get my reply

owkay am waiting

Here is the edited html file

i just want it empty

I've sent you the file already you seem not to respond almost real time, hoping that nairaland will implement chat feature some day.

Click on the the file in the post above to download it

Uffff! Alright, alright, here you go
Index.html without footer info (why would you want to do that)

you know what i have viewed it but its like you dont seem to edit the footer will that github be beta

Alright firstly, it has nothing to do with github and secondly, I believe I've edited the footer as you descibed.

Show me a screen shot of what it looks like now

this is the template that i downloaded and am trying to edit

Ok show me

this is the template in the 1st attach

the second is a screen shot of the place i tink the problem is
