A lot of people ask are they allowed to remove this from their template. In short yes you are allowed! Although it was meant to give credit to the designers of the template, you can remove it and not get in trouble. They do go out of their way to make sure you don't remove it, but their is no agreement or message stating your can not remove it. If you have every used a template or background from a 3rd party site, then you would understand what I am talking about. Their is always some message stating user agreements and part of the message is not to modify the code provided. With Blogger or the Attribution gadget their is not any user agreement on modifying of removing something from your template coding. So by law without it being clearly stated, they can not prosecute you in anyway for removing this.
Another way to look at this is that this is your blog and sometimes your custom domain bought to provide the content on your site. You have the right to choose what sites you want to give backlinks to. Which with the Attribution gadget you are giving a backlink to the designer of the templates blog or site.
1. Go to Design--> Edit HTML.
2. Expand your Widget Template.
3. Click Ctrl+F for the browser Find bar to pop up.
4. In the Find bar enter Attribution1
(This will Locate the gadget ID in your template.)
You should see something like this below with the Attribution1 highlighted.
<!-- 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:includable id='main'>
<div class='widget-content' style='text-align: center;'>
<b:if cond='data:attribution != ""'>
<data:attribution/>
</b:if>
</div>
<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>
5. Remove everything you see in red, this includes the blue Attribution1. Do not remove the line that is white!<b:section class='foot' id='footer-3' showaddelement='no'>
<b:widget id='Attribution1' locked='true' title='' type='Attribution'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<div class='widget-content' style='text-align: center;'>
<b:if cond='data:attribution != ""'>
<data:attribution/>
</b:if>
</div>
<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>
6. Provided you did it correctly when you save your template you will not get any errors.

Warning: Your new template does not include the following widgets:
Attribution1
Would you like to keep these widgets on your blog or delete them?
Deleting widgets cannot be undone.
Yeah that is just a warning to ask you if your sure you want to delete the widget.
Thank you SO much! I'd tried a few other tweaks and it kept reinserting itself. This seems to have worked. Fingers crossed it continues to work *L*
You're a genius. Thank you so much for making this information available.
all i had to do was remove this line
not sure if blogger code changed since your post, just FYI
Removing one line will remove the attribution gadget but the reason you need to remove more is because the gadget will come back the min you make changes to your template.
thank u...but how to remove the footer
Another way is to replace "true" in the code by "false" in order to unlock it and give us the possibility to remove it()and then, go to "Design" and click to edit the gadget "attribution", then remove it.
Annross you can use this code below to hide the footer in your template. Just input this code in the CSS box in the advanced settings of the template designer. Make sure to hit the space bar after you paste it in the CSS box for it to take effect.
.fauxborder-left .footer-fauxborder-left {
display: none;
}
Nicolette removing it that way will not remove the gadget for good. In the past that worked but now it will no longer work as well. If you were to edit your template after removing it the way you suggested, the gadget would come right back.

thanx a lot man
Any idea on how to remove the "Header" (Follow, Share, Report Abuse, Next Blog»)
You can find a tweak on this link to hide the blogger navbar.
THANK YOU!
It worked like a charm. Thanks! I was wondering how designers were getting this removed and replaced with their own.
Fantastic post! Thank you very much :)
I don't want to remove my Attribution widget, but do you have any idea how I might be able to align the text in the Attribution widget to left instead of center?
Design--> Template Designer--> Advanced--> Add CSS--> Input code below
#Attribution1 {
text-align: center;
}
Hit the space bar after pasting the code in.
Thank you so much........ Big help!!
Thanks for this!
Thank you so much to help me!
Beautiful thank you
gosh thanks alot ! :D
If I use this tweak, will it remove my next post/previous post buttons from the bottom? because i have already managed to remove the footer, but those buttons are gone too. Thanks for the help!
The Attribution gadget and the next/previous post buttons are two totally different elements. One is located in the Footer the other in the Post Footer. If you removed one in which removes another you probably deleted a third of your template its self... assuming it let you save.
Wow, okay. Is there anyway I can fix it and get my next/previous post buttons back?
Thanks a lot for your response and help.
You have a code in your template that looks like this below which is what is causing you buttons to be missing. You will need to remove the code from your template.
.feed-links, .blog-feeds {
display: none;
}
.home-link {
display: none;
}
.blog-pager-older-link {
display: none;
}
Thanks a lot for your help!
Nice ... its work.... thnaks
