[SOLVED] Footer formatting questions

1. I am trying to include two rows with links in the site footer. The top row would have teal links not underlined and the second row would have gray links with underline.

My problem is that I only seem to be able to format footer links in the style boxes which then apply to both rows. My attempts to put html in the content area to override were unsuccessful using the code below. Any fix here or way to achieve this without getting into CSS or the php file? Would I be better to add a widget to the footer for the top row menu? It is one that will likely be changing.

<font color="#00a79d" size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif"><strong><a href="http://www.flow-dynamix.com">HOME</a> &nbsp;&nbsp;|&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://www.flow-dynamix.com/free-kit">FREE KIT</a> &nbsp;&nbsp;|&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://www.flow-dynamix.com/About">ABOUT</a> &nbsp;&nbsp;|&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://www.flow-dynamix.com/contact">CONTACT</a></strong></font>

2. The footer is centered on the site. Because my right sidebar is wider than the left, the footer is off-center to the center text. Is there a way to have the footer center to the center section? I know i may create something even worse, of course!

I'm using 3.4.6. Thanks!
