 * Could anyone advise me how to customise the footer.php to include my name and
   a link to my site (i.e. what script do I need to write?) Any help for this would
   be thoroughly appreciated and responded to with jubilant praise and thanksgiving.

 * You don’t need any “script”. Just the good old basic HTML – should I say HTML
   101?

 * `Created by <a href="http://yoursitesurl">Your Name</a>`
    That should help you
   out.

 * Exuberant appreciation guys – one additional question – do these suggestions 
   still apply if I am altering the footer.php of a particular theme, in this case
   K2? (If it is any use, my site is [http://www.mycareer.whateverhappened2tv.tv](http://www.mycareer.whateverhappened2tv.tv))
   Thanks again!

 * Yeah they should, because HTML is used in all themes, well at least to accomplish
   what I think you want to do.
 * Anyway I see the created thing in your footer, so it looks like you got it right.
   BTW make sure that theme allows you to remove the copyright as not all of them
   do..
