  4. wow thanks for the tip... I'm using the blogger default template (Awesome Inc) I have to set the Attribution widget to "false" to enable me to remove the powered by blogger on the destop template.. from the code you gave above, i noticed that when I replaced with it works fine on the mobile template by removing the powered by blogger, but this line(...widget id='Attribution1' locked='true'...) calls back the already removed attribution widget from the desktop template and place it at my left sidebar. so the issue I'm having now is that when i try to remove the mobile attribution the desktop attribution shows and when i remove the desktop attribution widget the mobile attribution widget shows up... Please help me if you have any suggestion to fix this.. I want it in such a way that both in my mobile and desktop views there will be no powered by blogger. thanks once again
