WARNING:

---

I have not checked the Blogger Terms and Conditions to find out whether you are allowed to remove the Attribution.   Even if they don’t mention it today, a requirement to keep the statement could be added tomorrow.   This advice does not mean that I, or Google/Blogger, are saying that you should/can/may/must remove the attribution statement.
