It sounds like an issue with CSS rules for that section. To help you we'll probably need to see the relevant code. Be sure to read our Guidelines fo Posting Code [webmasterworld.com] if you do post some of it.

Are you working directly with the source code, or using an editor of some kind?

ooh i did finally figure that out but ended up with another type question i want to add regular text links under the area that says links, meta, and subscribe but actually really i want to just plainly remove those as its ugly for 1 and then just replace it with my text area such as my copyright and graphic credit links and stuff and thats it but not sure how without messing up wht footer code, im usinf context to open the css files and php files to edit them and then saving n reloading them bk to my server homepage cpanel.
thank you
