theme designer info in header?

  • Hi,
    I am a newbie having fun customizing a theme for wordpress. I notice in the page source for any given page that the header has the following information with the designer of the theme’s name and website. I am ALL FOR him getting the credit he deserves, but I just wanted to check that this is standard procedure. There are credit links in the bottom of each page; and, not knowing much about how this all works, I don’t want this to affect the SEO of my site.

    Please let me know if this looks ok, or if I should modify it.

    Thanks so much.

    Ron

    Here’s the source:

    <meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress 2.0.5 – Mods by DESIGNER NAME https://DESIGNER’S WEBSITE.com/” />

    and

    <meta name=”author” content=”Design: DESIGNER’S NAME at https://DESIGNER’S WEBSITE.com/” />

    and

    <meta name=”description” content=”MY SITE NAME …, MY SITE’S TAG LINE, DESIGNER’S NAME, HIS BLOG THEME NAME” />

    and

    <meta name=”keywords” content=”MY SITE NAME …, MY SITE’S TAG LINE, Web Log, Accessible Blog, DESIGNER’S NAME” />

    btw, the question is not about the credits at the bottom of each page. Those are going to stay, happily. It’s the stuff in the header I am asking about.

    It is not ususal to leave it in the header’s meta tags.
    I assume you can remove it – although it always depends on the license of the theme.
