Well, the above code is nothing but the URL of this site: http://thatsblog.com. But it is unrecognizable as it is encoded in to base64. ere is the simplest method to decode these codes which are present in your WordPress footer. But, before removing or modifying these codes make sure that the copyright law allows you to do this. Take out the codes from the footer (like aHR0cDovL3RoYXRzYmxvZy5jb20=), they must be followed by $o=” or $__C=’ or eval(base64_decode( or something like that. Now visit: Base64Decoder and put the code in the box. Click on Decode. You will get a decoded output. This decoded output is easily readable. Now, from this decoded output remove the lines or the phrases as per your requirements. After you have done this visit: Base64Encoder and paste the edited text in the box, click on Encode. Now, you will again get codes like aHR0cDovL3RoYXRzYmxvZy5jb20=. Paste these codes in the location exactly from where you took out from the footer. That’s it. Enjoy.

<!–
<p>This is a paragraph of text that could go in the sidebar.</p>

Enter your text between <p> and </p> and remove the <!– and –>. This text will act as a sideblog for your blog. For example I have added the sideblog “This is a sideblog. You can add your items over here.” in the test blog: http://blogforthatsblog.blogspot.com
