Of Course I'm Not Going To Remove His/Hers Copyrights.

But I Would Like To Add A Few Links Down There Of My Own?
&& Most Importantly Change 2008 To 2010?(;

&&+ He/She Doesn't Even Have Any Type Of Copyrights.

Please Help // Thanks(:

It uses the PHP base64_decode function to display the information would you care to hazard a guess at the PHP function to encode the string?

Sorry I'm Fairly New To All This,

So It Means I Can't Edit Any Of It?

http://php.net/manual/en/function.base64-encode.php

Hmm, How Exactly Can I Least Edit The Copyright 2008 To 2010?

&& Take Out Those Two Links To My RSS?

google "base64 decode" and decode that script

Or better yet find one of the many, many themes that doesn't encrypt the footer. Who knows what's in that coded string. Do you really want to support someone who's giving you an open source solution and then going out of his or her way to make it difficult to edit?

I think you can edit this but not to remove the copyright link. You can also add what ever plug ins, design since that is yours what the theme designer wants is your link back to their site and accreditation

Hmmm, Ive Tried Decoding && What Not && Pure Nonsense && Weird Text Comes Out?!

Ahh Any Help?/:

you encode the string you want to display and place the result into the decode function.

alternatively. ..

delete the decode function entirely and just write the text in there!

leave it all, Use their own encoder. Post it in Wordpress forums :
