    Hi everyone,

    I searched, but couldn’t find the answer to this in the forums…

    I have the default theme installed on my wordpress blog. I have customised the header image, and removed the text that was overlaid. I thus have no obvious way for users to return to the home page (as I removed the text title, which was linked there…). How do I make the header image a link back to the index page? Sounds like an easy request, but I cannot get my head around the code unfortunately…

    Here is the exisiting modified code from my header.php file. The is from the default theme. Below is just the <head> code.

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”&gt;

    /* To accomodate differing install paths of WordPress, images are referred only here,

    not, then go right ahead and delete the following lines, and the image files. */

    body { background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/kubrickbgcolor.jpg”); }
    <?php /* Checks to see whether it needs a sidebar or not */ if ((! $withcomments) && (! is_single())) { ?>
    #page { background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/kubrickbg.jpg”) repeat-y top; border: none; }
    <?php } else { // No sidebar ?>
    #page { background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/kubrickbgwide.jpg”) repeat-y top; border: none; }
    <?php } ?>
    #header { background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/kubrickheader.jpg”) no-repeat top center; }
    #footer { background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/kubrickfooter.jpg”) no-repeat bottom; border: none;}

    /* Because the template is slightly different, size-wise, with images, this needs to be set here
    If you don’t want to use the template’s images, you can also delete the following two lines. */

    #header { margin: 0 !important; margin: 0 0 0 1px; padding: 1px; height: 198px; width: 758px; }
    #headerimg { margin: 7px 9px 0; height: 192px; width: 740px; }

    /* To ease the insertion of a personal header image, I have done it in such a way,
    that you simply drop in an image called ‘personalheader.jpg’ into your /images/
    directory. Dimensions should be at least 760px x 200px. Anything above that will
    get cropped off of the image. */
    /*
    #headerimg { background: url(‘<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/personalheader.jpg’) no-repeat top;}
    */
    </style>
    <?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly&format=link’); ?>
    <?php wp_head(); ?>
    </head>

    What code to I change, and how do I change it? Thanks!

    (just go to the blog, funkyhomedecor.biz, if you want to see the problem I am refferring to).

    Cheers,

    Jeff
