Bottom of index notes

At the bottom of index.php is a line starting like this:
<p class="credit">
Just add it in there until you are happy ??

yea, I noticed that my index.php does have that in there, however it doesn’t show up on the main webpage…

You can sort of ignore that ??
Delete what is there and try this (inside the tag I pointed out above):
WordPress Code is Poetry
Or something similar.

hmm, I’m thinking that it’s the dot template that I’m using from the wp css competition. I tried changing my template back to the original default one that wordpress installs with and I got text to show up on the bottom. However, after switching back to the dots template, the text dissapears. I also noticed that this occurs when you use dots as the style over on the competition site. Any ideas what code would be causing this in the style sheet?

There is nothing in a stylesheet that will cause words to appear or not appear on your page. My guess is that you are using an index.php template that is specific to this ‘dots’ look -n- feel, and that it omits the ‘Powered by WordPress, etc.’ verbage.
You need to compare the default WP index.php against that of the ‘dots’ setup and note where the differences are that relate to what you what to do. It’s a bit tedious and time-consuming, but that’s what it boils down to.

yea, I’ve gone through and checked, but as far as I know it seems like the p.credit or .credit lines in the stylesheet are what gives the credit command the style that it will be using. Unless I’m mistaken and it uses some other command.(?) So I’ve tried changing those both, but I still can’t get it to work.
