Are you using Firebug? It shows you all the code on your site – copy from there.

Also, without more specific info about your site, theme and what you are trying to do, hard to be of more specific help.
Once you have created your basic child theme and uploaded it, you can access its files via Appearance -> Editor. What is the parent theme?

I’m working on Twenty Twelve ( I’m still back here at beginner level!) and don’t want it to look like a blog – altho it could be in 2 columns. I want to put my own images in header and for footer. Three pages on the ‘home’ page that can be actual posts – but one is ‘about’, one is ‘portfolio’ and one is ‘contact’. Then in the footer, HOME, ABOUT, PORTFOLIO and CONTACT as four clickable words which go to three other pages. I have sample site that I like http://celestedupreez.com/ . as you can see I have to get rid of a lot? How do you get rid of what you don’t want? Sorry for such a longwinded post…

Then you do not have to do anything to the theme to remove all traces of comments. To disable comments on future Pages/Posts, uncheck “Allow people to post comments on new articles” in Settings -> Discussion. Then edit each published Page or Post and uncheck “Allow comments” in each case. If you do not see this pane, click Screen Options at the very top of the page and check “Discussion”.

See Appearance -> Header
and for footer
That can only be achieved using a child theme or a custom CSS plugin.
Then in the footer, HOME, ABOUT, PORTFOLIO and CONTACT as four clickable words which go to three other pages.
I’d suggest setting up a new custom menu via a child theme for this.
