HOW-TO: Remove Blogger's 'Powered by' or 'Designed by' footer

How to remove 'Powered by' or 'Designed by' footer template element:

1. Go to Template and click Edit HTML, then click Proceed. 
2. Scroll down to the bottom and find the following code block:
   <!--outside of the include in order to lock Attribution widget --> <b:section class='foot' id='footer-3' showaddelement='no'> <b:widget id='Attribution1' locked='true' title='' type='Attribution'/> </b:section>
3. Change the above red color code to locked='false' to make your Attribution page element removable and click Save template.
4. Click the Close button to close the HTML editing window.
5. On the sidebar, click Layout. Scroll to the bottom and look for Attribution element.
6. Click the Edit link on the Attribution element to open the Configure Attribution windows and click Remove.

Note that this is a cleaner way to remove the Attribution page element rather than removing the correspondence code block.
