I just installed this theme, and I do not know how to remove the smiley face at the very bottom of the footer. I am happy to leave the Bytes for All links as a credit, but I would like to delete the unnecessary smiley face.

Thanks!

That is being inserted by WP Stats. Some image needs to be there for the counting process but not necessarily visible. Perhaps the plugin (?) has an option to not (visibly) display that image.

Or, try through Atahualpe Theme Options -> HTML/CSS Inserts -> CSS Inserts

To move it to the left, way outside the browser viewport:

img#wpstats {
position: absolute;
left: -999em;
}

Or to change its size to 1 x 1 pixel

img#wpstats {
width: 1px !important;
height: 1px !important;
}

After doing that check if the stats are still being processed, just to be sure, but they should.

Thanks, this seems to have worked perfectly!
