How To Edit/Add Footer Links

Hello,

I’m having some trouble editing my website. I currently have a footer links at the bottom of my site and want to add another one.

I accessed my WP account and went to
Appearance -> Editor -> Footer (footer.php)

The Current Footer Links are as follows:

<div id="bot_section">
	<div class="row">
		<div class="ten columns" id="bot_nav_bar">
			<ul class="link-list">

<li>
					<a>/tools">Tools</a>
				</li>
<li>
					<a>/gear">Gear</a>
				</li>
<li>
					<a>/court-process">Court Process</a>
				</li>
<li>
					<a>/resources">Resources</a>
				</li>
<li>
					<a>/faq">FAQ</a>
				</li>
<li>
					<a>/about-us">About Us</a>
				</li>
<li>
					<a>/contact-us">Contact Us</a>
				</li>
<li>
					<a>/testimonials">Testimonials</a>
				</li>
<li>
					<a>/visit-our-blog">Visit Our Blog</a>
				</li>
<li>
					<a rel="author">/about-us/">James Lee</a>
				</li>
		</div>

I tried adding a sitemap footer link using the same format, and placing betweeen the “Visit Our Blog”

and the

"
<li> <a rel="author" href:"

This is the sitemap footer link I tried to insert.

</li>
<li>
		<a>/site-map/">Site Map</a>
</li>

After inserting, I clicked on “Update File” but did not see any change on my homepage, the new footer link for “Site-Map” was not updated.

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Thank you!
