    How to add footer link in my wordpress blog? I am using default theme. I have never done it (so do not know how to add footer link). I tried but could not.
    Hope somebody will tell me the steps to add footer (if possible in cPanel).
    Thanks in advance.

    Doesn't WordPress have a built in theme editor? I think you can edit the footer directly in WP but I could be mistaking. Otherwise you'd just have to modify the theme and find what is displayed on the bottom of the page and add a link.

    Let me know if you need a hand, I don't mind helping out :)

    You are talking about a self hosted blog right?

    Go to Appearance/Editor and you'll probably have a footer.php

    Click on that and you can try to add a HTML hyperlink. Copy and save the code first in case you mess up. I use kompozer.net (free) to create the hyperlink, but if you already know HTML just experiment with placing it in the right spot.

    Go to wp-content -> themes -> theme folder (theme which you are using currently) -> footer.php

    Add link in that.

    DON.
