OK, I did that and the only problem I had was that it was flush left and I didn't know how to create a margin. Meanwhile, my host was working on something for me where everything on my site had become centered after they had made an adjustment in the My Order History page. I dashed them off an email and asked them if they would please create a margin for this or advise me how to do same.
No problem. They fixed the centering problem on my site and created a margin for me for this footer text. Unfortunately, there was too much white space under the payment icons and the beginning of the text I had created, so I went into the includes/templates/overrides/common/tpl_footer.php and deleted one of the <br /> because I had used two of them. I didn't think it would be a big deal.
Wrong. Once I did that, it centered everything again. My host fixed the centering problem again and recreated the margin without advising me on how they did it, but now there was no double space between the two groups of sentences in the footer statement I had created. I had used a double <br /> but somehow it was just ignored.
Anyway, I tried deleting it and redoing it, but then everything not only got centered again, but the font got larger and I have it set at :
.mytext a {
font-size: 75%;
}
I have no idea how removing, adding, deleting or so on a <br /> could affect the size of the font, or center text in the left sidebox and throughout the site, or why even when I return the <br /> to how I originally had it, the font size and alignment does not return.
So now everything is centered, the text in the footer is the wrong size and centered, and I can't get the proper spacing between the two groups of sentences.
What happened?
