Yes those links are the easiest way if you don’t want to use a plugin. You simply paste it anywhere in your functions file (start at the end) and adjust as needed. Notice there is more than one way to edit the footer….so just choose the way you want and then add it. This isn’t as difficult as you may think. All you do is copy/paste the code and then fill in the html part to show what you want it to say. It wouldn’t take me longer than 30 seconds to complete, so it should be pretty simple.
If you can, I’d highly recommend you do this using FTP instead of the WP editor. If you don’t know how to setup FTP just do a google search for a tutorial based on the host you’re with…there should be plenty of them out there available.
