Making header image a link?

(@greybon)

Hi there. I’ve installed the Carrington blot theme on my site and I’m using a header image instead of text. But I can’t see to figure out how to make my header image link to the home page. Any ideas?

I’m guessing I need to update something in the header-default.php file. Maybe somewhere here:

<div id="page">
		<div id="top"><a class="accessibility" href="#content"><?php _e( 'Skip to content', 'carrington-blog' ); ?></a></div>
		<hr class="lofi" />
		<div id="header" class="section">
			<div class="wrapper">
				<strong id="blog-title"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/" rel="home"><?php bloginfo('name') ?></a></strong>
				<p id="blog-description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></p>
							</div>

I can’t seem to find this theme to installed, but here’s my guess.

This is the part that prints your text (site description).
<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>

If you want to have an image and link instead, you can replace the above with:
```
<a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/REPLACE_IMAGE.jpg"
alt="Header Image" border="0" /></a>
```
Hope that works. Be sure to add your header image inside the “images” folder of your theme.

Also check if there’s a header.php file in your template too.

Similarly, we’re trying to figure out how to link the header image at the top of http://www.actionflickchick.com/superaction so that it will link to the home page.

Please help!
