 * Can anybody put me right on this? I have a good few guest authors who can post
   directly on the blog. I want to add a footnote to the each post stating that 
   the contents of the post are the views of the Author and the Author is solely
   responsible for the contents of this post.
    I don’t want to have to add this 
   every time, or have the author add it every time. How can I make this appear 
   as a permanently appearing, un-deletable footer to EACH post? Anybody?

 * Edit it in your theme’s footer.php 😀
 * Make a child theme, copy the footer over to it, edit 🙂

 * Hi, thanks,
    but I think you are picking me up wrong. I don’t want to change 
   the theme footer. I want the text “The views expressed in…” to automatically 
   appear as the last lines of the actual post, whatever that post is, or whoever
   makes it. Legalities…

 * Then edit single.php 🙂 Same idea. Figure out what the ‘right’ file is to put
   it where you want, and either use a hook to insert or edit the theme file directly.

 * Ok, thanks. I’m pretty new to all this, but will have a go at it anyway.
