   I have been going through at book from sitepoint about WordPress.
   I have laern much from the book but lack information of how to update the link below footer were site-info is given.

   It is written at bottom of the pages:
   Driving by WordPress. Build on Thematic Theme Framework.
   (In norwegian. I translate it to explain the link text in English)

   I will write here.
   Driving by WordPress. Build on Thematic Theme Framework by The Web Coder.
   The work "WordPress" shall be a link. Thematic Theme Framework is anonter link and "The Web Coder" is a link to my homepages.

   Where can I do this?

   Thanks for your time

   You'll need to add this to your functions.php in your child theme

   //add me to post footer
   function get_me($atts) {
   	return '<a href="http://yourwebsite.com">your name</a>';
   }
   add_shortcode('me', 'get_me');

   Than to display, go to theme options under appearance and add [me] - you'll see other shortcode examples below the box to.

   yes it is a theme option you can change under appearance > theme options

   you could also override the thematic_siteinfo() function with your own custom childtheme_override_siteinfo()

   function childtheme_override_siteinfo)(){
     echo "site powered by bacon";
   
   }

   I think I have found an error with the childtheme_override_siteinfo() functionality. Specifically in footer-extension.php you have

   if (function_exists('childtheme_override_siteinfo'))  {
   		function thematic_siteinfo() {
   			childtheme_override_siteinfo();
   		}
   	} else {
   	    function thematic_siteinfo() {
           	global $options, $blog_id;
   			foreach ($options as $value) {
           		if (get_option( $value['id'] ) === FALSE) {
               		$$value['id'] = $value['std'];
           		} else {
           			if (THEMATIC_MB) {
               			$$value['id'] = get_blog_option( $blog_id, $value['id'] );
   					} else {
               			$$value['id'] = get_option( $value['id'] );
     					}
           		}
   			}
           	/* footer text set in theme options */
           	echo do_shortcode(__(stripslashes(thematic_footertext($thm_footertext)), 'thematic'));
           }
       	add_action('thematic_footer', 'thematic_siteinfo', 30);
       }
   

   but because add_action('thematic_footer', 'thematic_siteinfo', 30); is inside the option that the user has not defined an override function, it needs to be added to the childtheme_override_siteinfo function. So Helgathevikings example above becomes:

   
   function childtheme_override_siteinfo)(){
     echo "site powered by bacon";
    add_action('thematic_footer', 'thematic_siteinfo', 30);
   }
   

   or else it does nothing. This is also true of childtheme_override_siteinfoopen() and childtheme_override_siteinfoclose() but I am assuming this is not what you intended.

   Thanks!
