To whom it may concern,

I would like to know how to add a link in the right side footer, close to "Suffusion".

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Candace, In order to change footer text in WordPress, you need to edit your WordPress theme's footer file. In your case it would appear this file is:
./wp-content/themes/suffusion/custom/site-footer.php
The line causing the Suffusion text to display is line 33 which looks like:
<td class="cred-right"><a href="http://aquoid.com/news/themes/suffusion/">Suffusion theme by Sayontan Sinha</a></td>
This is using an HTML table with the <td> element. So you can add another column with your own text either above or below that line like:
<td>My awesome new text</td>
Now please note that it looks like that theme wasn't setup style-wise to have more text on the footer. So you might have to play with the style a bit, as the other table elements are all using a CSS class of either cred-left, cred-center, or cred-right. To make the text a link, you can copy the same format as the line linking to the WordPress theme. I hope that was clear enough for you, please let us know if you still had any further questions! - Jacob
