Hyia!

I've been messing with ubercart for a while, and recently made a page that's black near the bottom of the
page. This is working out pretty good, aside from the fact that there is now only half of the "E-commerce powered by Ubercart, the free e-commerce shopping cart software." visible at the bottom of the page, because it's in black.

Unfortunately, I can't figure out where the code that's telling drupal to put "E-commerce powered by Ubercart, the free e-commerce shopping cart software." is, to recolor or barring that just remove the silly thing.

I heard reference to "your theme"... but I'm nearly 100% sure that the text "E-commerce powered by Ubercart, the free e-commerce shopping cart software." is in no line of code in the theme I created... Am I thinking about this the wrong way?

In your template's CSS file, add the following:

#store-footer {
  display:none;
}

Or, do yourself a favour and install FireBug in Mozilla - then use that do modify the CSS on the fly and see how it looks. Once you're happy with your changes, copy and paste them into the template's CSS file.

This is actually terrible for your SEO and is considered BLACK HAT SEO. In other words, your making a link invisible. This will actually hurt Ubercart if google finds out.

Actually, you're not. You're not making the text show up at all. So it doesn't really do anything for Google.

The Black Hat SEO you're talking about is making text "invisible" - in other words, white text on a white background. Setting display: none in your CSS doesn't make text invisible, it makes whatever elements that belong to that class not appear at all. I worked at an SEO company for 2 years, and believe me, there's a huge difference.
