Editing the standard Joomla footer information

We have had a lot of Joomla users ask us how to edit the standard Joomla footer that seems to be in most templates (the text generated at the bottom of your site that shows your Joomla version, date and copyright), so as a quick tip to all new users out there - open up your Joomla footer.php file located in your site "includes" folder and edit the following as you require:

Look for this (for Copyright):
&copy; <?php echo JHTML::_('date', 'now', '%Y' ) . ' ' . $mainframe->getCfg('sitename'); ?>
 
 
and look for this (for Version URL):
<?php echo $version->URL; ?>

another thing to note is that you can edit this file however you wish, or even remove it entirely - just remember to remove the reference call in your template index.php file.
