• I had a friend config my wordpress installation to add custom rss icons and things and I don’t really want to pester him further so I thought id ask here.

    How does one add images, logos etc. onto the main wordpress home page on my site.

    If you go to http://otr-reviews.com/ you will see that it doesn’t have a logo at the top just the phrase “OTR Reviews Podcast” and I really can’t figure out how to replace that with a jpg logo etc..

    What should I be doing? Thank you

  • There are a few ways you can do that. You can use CSS image replacement techniques, you can take a look at the Kubrick theme to see how it’s done there, you can code the image directly into the page using img tags. Here’s a suggestion (I believe this is taken directly from Kubrick):

    Your site has that top H1 tag all on its own. Wrap it in a DIV so that your code looks more like this:
    <div id="header">
    <div id="headerimg">
    <h1><a href="http://otr-reviews.com">OTR Reviews Podcast</a></h1>
    </div>
    </div>

    Then, use this as your CSS:

    #header
    {
    background: url(“http://yoursite.com/yourimage.jpg&#8221;) no-repeat bottom center; /* change this */
    }

    #headerimg
    {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    height: 200px; /* change this */
    width: 100%;
    }

    #headerimg h1
    {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    }

    #headerimg h1 a
    {
    position: relative;
    left: 0;
    top: 0;
    display: block;
    width: 740px; /* change this */
    height: 190px; /* change this */
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    text-indent: -5000px;
    }

    thanks alot for your reply. sadly I am not really skilled at coding – even copying and pasting! and am not really sure what “Then, use this as your CSS:” really means!

    Then ask your friend to do it for you. If this is beyond your abilities, you need someone else to do it for you. No shame in that, just know your limits. This is obviously one of them. Good luck.
