# Removing the Powered By information in Movable Type

As you begin to build your site with Movable Type, you will notice that there are two areas that declare “*Powered By”*‘ Movable Type or MT. One is a large logo in the right hand sidebar and the other is in the footer of the site pages. This article will demonstrate how to remove the “*Powered By”* logo and footer information from your Movable Type website.

## How to remove the Powered By Logo

1. Log into your [Movable Type admin interface](/support/edu/movable-type/moveable-type-admin/).  
2. [![click templates link](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/edu_mt_remove-powered-by_click-template.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/edu_mt_remove-powered-by_click-template.png) From the main screen, click on the **Templates **link.  
3.

Look to the left hand menu and click on the **Widgets **option.

This saves the new information and the *Powered By *logo is now removed.  

## How to remove the Powered By footer text
