Method 1: Customize Footer via Blogger Layout

Most Blogger templates (like SpotNews, Median UI, Fletro, etc.) allow easy editing through the Layout section.

Steps:

1. Go to Blogger Dashboard → Layout
2. Scroll down to “Footer” section
3. Click Edit on “Footer” or “Attribution” gadget
4. Change:
   • Copyright text
   • Link text
   • Add your social media URLs
5. Save and preview your blog

Example Footer Text:

© 2025 AndroidPols | All Rights Reserved  
Designed by Templateify | Powered by Blogger

You can add backlinks to your Privacy Policy, Disclaimer, or About Us pages:

<a href="/p/about-us.html">About</a> | 
<a href="/p/contact-us.html">Contact</a> | 
<a href="/p/privacy-policy.html">Privacy Policy</a>

Method 2: Customize Footer in Theme HTML (Advanced)

For advanced users, you can modify the footer using HTML/CSS.

Steps:

1. Go to Theme → Edit HTML
2. Search for </footer> or footer-wrapper
3. Carefully edit this section

Example:

<div class='footer-copyright'>
  <p>© 2025 AndroidPols | Designed with by You</p>
  <p><a href='/p/about-us.html'>About</a> | <a href='/p/contact.html'>Contact</a></p>
</div>

Tip: Always back up your theme before editing the code.

Add Social Media Icons to Footer

If your template doesn’t already support social icons:

1. Get free icon codes from Font Awesome
2. Add the following HTML in your footer:

<a href="https://facebook.com/yourpage" target="_blank"><i class="fab fa-facebook"></i></a>
<a href="https://twitter.com/yourhandle" target="_blank"><i class="fab fa-twitter"></i></a>
<a href="https://instagram.com/yourprofile" target="_blank"><i class="fab fa-instagram"></i></a>

Make sure Font Awesome is enabled in your theme or add the CDN link.
