How to add html code properly into page

[FantasyFreak1]

Hello, i need to add a few links to my another sites under Coppermine copyright in footer.
I also need to add my own stats counter into footer of all pages.
I tried to edit /themes/mytheme/index.php several times but these attempts led into crash of the template.
Can someone learly explain where exactly to put the html code safely?
Thank you very much.

Easiest way should be to use the custom-footer
Or you can modify the credits

If you want to add plain HTML below the Coppermine footer, just open your theme's template.html file, find

Code Select Expand

{CREDITS}
and below, add your HTML code.
