Normally you’d log into the server via secure shell, then most servers will already have the patch tool available to use. In that case directions like these would be what you’d follow…
Unfortunately, I don’t think Godaddy provides secure shell access. In that case, your easiest way will be to dowload the files you need to modify, change them on your local machine, then re-upload the modified copy. It’ll be easier to visualize what’s changing by looking at the patch at this link:
You’ll need to change templates/about/editorialPolicies.tpl in this case. The reddish lines indicate removals, and the green ones indicate additions.
For more complicated patches, you could download and use the “patch” tool on your local machine – but in this case a quick text edit is enough, I think.
