How to Remove the “Powered by WordPress” Footer Link

Your code got removed, could you show us again using pastebin – or say what theme you are using?

Sorry about the violation of posting the code without pastebin. I am using the TwentyTen Theme. Thank you in advance.

remove this section from foter.php:

<div id="site-generator">
				<?php do_action( 'twentyten_credits' ); ?>
				<a href="<?php echo esc_url( __( 'https://www.ads-software.com/', 'twentyten' ) ); ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Semantic Personal Publishing Platform', 'twentyten' ); ?>" rel="generator"><?php printf( __( 'Proudly powered by %s.', 'twentyten' ), 'WordPress' ); ?></a>
			</div><!-- #site-generator -->

be aware that twenty ten will be overwritten with the next upgrade of your wordpress version – all modifications will be lost.

Thank you all for the response. It took about 10 hours for me to get familiar and make a basic website using the Twenty Ten theme. I actually had fun!! I would like to start over this time using Child_themes. What do I have to do to start over? What do I do with the template I built? Can I export or save it? Thanks in advance.
