change copyright text from any wordpress theme premium or free using notepad++

Is there any editing work around where code editing of inside of an script is needed to be edited?then notepad++ is the promising tool.i think its fair to say im the only one who uses notepad for this type of work.but believe me when i say,it makes working with code a whole lot easier.its most useful feature is the find tool,which can be used to look for a specific code inside a folder of php coded files.I said before that a post featuring how to use this free but wonderful software to edit codes like a pro is coming soon.Here it is now.
We will now tackle the problem of editing a specific part of a wordpress theme.There are many wordpress themes that are free but the creator holds some part of the theme to be used as his advert.We don't mind that,but sometime we need to occupy these space for our selves.Take a look at the screen shot below

The theme is great and free, but when you see the next two picture you will see that the creator has used some space which could be beautifully used for some words of introduction of my website. 

                                         

The wordpress dashboard does not offer any widget or option where I can edit these sentence, and the theme maker is saying I could buy theme and remove them.

But I cant buy,so I use notepad++.
First I download the theme and unzip it.

Then take any php file,here footer.php as it may contain the footer info I want to change.

Right click and select edit with notepad++.    

The theme has codes I cant decode!

Then I copy the text I need to change from the theme

,click search>find in files,

select the theme folder as search area,

and paste the text.Finally click search.It will start searching

Yes,there is a match in function.php!

Lets open it up

I again search but in this file only.

The code containing the text comes visible.I edit that to my text.

 

Next to the copyright footer text, I just select portion of the full text now and search the folder again

Yes on one php there is a match.Editing it will make the theme suited to my words of choice.

Now you've seen how to use notepad++ to change copyright text from any wordpress theme premium or free both.This idea can be used for many changes too.

2.xampp:if anyone cant find good free host for some script,they can use xampp for windows to try that on their local machine.the guidelines are pretty straight forward.and you can use it without internet connection.the home pc works as the server in this case.

Useful methods for maintaining a great freelancing career

In order to be a winning, triumphant and successful freelancer you have to transform the way you handle your computer and internet living.
May be you don’t know this, but working in front of a computer is wearisome, dull and even boring at times. So you may have spent a lot of time in front of a computer. But actually it was not work, you were just playing games or watching videos and twitting or other stuff. It was not wearisome, dull and  boring at all. In fact they were the driving force that kept you occupied. This will not be the same in case of spending time with freelancing. In fact, they are very much stressful for a definite period of time and can make you want to quit the whole idea of freelancing. So there must be some change how you do your computer timing to synchronies with freelancing. I have made the following points which may be useful for all of you.
1.Specific Time:Make a specific time intended for freelancing only. How should you choose this time may make it less stressful and hectic. For my part, I chose a time which formerly was not utilized by me at all. It is the time when I mostly sleep too long. I decided to wake up more early, at least two hours before I do otherwise. It is not difficult for me as I usually sleep late.
2.Keep txt info:This is directly  helpful in speeding up your freelancing job. Keep a simple txt notepad file on desktop with required login info to your clients website cpanel or other info. Whenever making a new mysql database copy its name and username for it and also it’s password and save it in the txt file. This makes a whole lot of difference when working. You may receive the login info by private message or email and true, it would be stored there and you can access them later. But it is really tiresome to find that definite pm or email from all other. So keep the necessary info at close distance. See how I kept mine.
3. Labels: If you use gmail, then make labels for the above info. Send email to yourself containing username and password for any login info. It will save a lot of time from resetting password. Look how I named my labels.
4.backup:whenever working with a pre made website,especially with mysql,take a zipped backup.then upload that to some personal filehosting site.also take a downloaded version in the pc.if possible,email the zip to personal email.even break it down if email service cant take much big filesize.ill show how to take a backup and upload it without downloading it.its great for people who do a lot of whole website developing from a pre made site.its important to keep the old site available if the new site doesnt pan out with the client.
5.bullet points: next comes the idea that helps a lot with synchonising the freelancing jobs.take small notes about what to do next.the best time to do this is when travelling and being stuck in a jam.also keep in mind that using mobiles memo or notepad comes in handy.
6.search:before applying for a job,be sure that Its do able.there are many freelancing works which are easy but you havent done them before.dont worry.usually its appearant to you if the job may be accomplished by you.do a little search realted to the task.then apply for it.
7.pop box:when browsing the freelancing sites sometime a job pops up which was just posted by someone.if the job headline seems your area of expertise,then at once apply.being the first to apply for a job helps a lot to bag it
