Apparently a couple things changed about the footer in 2.0:

• The order of items is now nav.footermenu, div#site-copyright, div#site-info.  Previously it was nav.footermenu, div#site-info, div#site-copyright.
• The #site-info no longer uses the author info specified in the child theme file.

About the first point: I had used the following CSS to produce a pleasing effect:

nav.footermenu { float: left; text-align: left; }
div#site-info { float: right; text-align: right; clear: none; margin-right: 1em; }
div#site-copyright { display: block; clear: both; text-align: center; }

The effect was something like this (attempt at ascii art):

footermenu                             site-info
                   site-copyright

But because of the change in order, now it looks like this:

footermenu
                   site-copyright
                                       site-info

The site-info is hanging off the bottom running over the bottom border of my layout.  To be honest, I would be even more happy with this:

footermenu        site-copyright       site-info

But I have never figured out how to simulate a “float:center” sort of thing. Anyway, what would be an elegant way (reasonably harmonious with how Mantra is designed) to either put them in the same row or the way I had them originally?

About the second point: I don’t mind the URI reverting to Cryout Creations – it does make more sense that way than the way I had it.  But maybe there is some way in the Mantra 2.0 settings to achieve what I would really like it to say. Currently it says:

Powered by Mantra &  WordPress. 

I would prefer something like this:

Powered by WordPress; custom theme based on Mantra.

Is this kind of customization possible without including a whole custom copy of theme-hooks.php in order to modify the method cryout_footer_hook()?

Followup: I found a solution to the layout that doesn’t require a different order of the elements: http://stackoverflow.com/a/14269831/1436451  So never mind on that part.  But the second question is more specific to Mantra and remains awaiting clues.

Yes, there is a more update-friendly way, but modifying our copyright link is discussed in questions A3 and A4 in the FAQs.
