Would like to change it to:

I am simply looking to change the position of the ©.

If it is just to the other side of the just switch it over, i don't see what trouble your having. I would suggest a program that lets you preview your html pages. (Macromedia Homesite 5, Microsoft Frontpage). They are the ones I can think of at the moment.

HTML preview won't work due to the way WordPress's templating system is set up.

However, I'm with Sting--what problem do you have? Just cut/paste the copyright symbol and re-upload the footer file..

If you're having trouble with the symbol, &amp;copy; is the HTML-safe equivalent.
