   Please can you give me some help. I would like to add my own image as a header to my blog. I need to give an absolute url for the image I want to use but I don't know how to create one. If anyone can also walk me through the steps for the whole procedure I would also really appreciate it. Thanks

   Hi

   If you put the image in the images folder your theme folder an absolute image would be:

   http://mydomain.com/wpinstallfolder/wp-content/themes/mytheme/images/imagename.jpg

   shortcuts for the same are
   <?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/imagename.jpg
   or /wpinstallfolder/wp-content/themes/mytheme/images

   wpinstallfolder means the folder in which you installed wp if you installed into the root folder leave /wpinstallfolder off of the absolute path.

   Help
   i think you are on to my problem but I am wrapping a logo image within an anchor in the header php file
   after several attempts I now have an image no show but it is clickable to the home page of my web site.
   The full image path is
   http://wheninbangkok.com/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/greentweet_extend/images/WIBlogoblog.png

   the code (after trying different ways) is
   

   <a href="http://www.wheninbangkok.com/"><img src="<?php bloginfo ('template_directory'); ?>/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/greentweet_extend/images/WIBlogoblog.png alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" />
       </a>

   what am I doing wrong? what can you suggest for a fix? anything please I am stuck. and I don't know php but am prettty good with html and css.
   thanks

   Try this:

   <a href="http://www.wheninbangkok.com/"><img src="<?php bloginfo ('template_directory'); ?>/images/WIBlogoblog.png" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" /></a>

   When you put in the template_directory bit, it should magically pull in http://wheninbangkok.com/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/greentweet_extend/

   Also you were missing a " at the end
