Ahem… it might help if you actually placed link markup around the masthead image, 🙂
Thanks for the Ahem… the comment. I know you are teasing me but I really don’t know what I’m doing.
Could you please tell me the code that needs to be around the masthead image. I hope I will say “duh”, and understand but right now I don’t.
thanks
Sorry – I thought you’d be OK with link markup. Plus I misunderstood and thought you wanted a link on your header image.
Did you add/hardcode the Blog link into the top navbar? Only there’s an unwanted <br /> tag inside the <li></li> which, I think, is causing your background problem.
On the Blog page:
<li class="current_page_item">
<a href="http://www.colortude.com/blog/">Blog</a>
<br />
</li>
On the Free Gifts page:
<li>
<a href="http://www.colortude.com/blog/">Blog</a>
<br />
</li>
Thanks for the reply – Sorry to keep asking stupid questions. Going crazy over here. Because I don’t know how to code, I’m using a template and the template editor. Yes, I tried to hardcode the Home link. I want home to go to colortude.com and I would like Blog to go to the home page of the blog. … Brain Hurts!
This is the code in the ‘header.php:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”>
<html xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml” <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
<head profile=”http://gmpg.org/xfn/11″>
<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”<?php bloginfo(‘html_type’); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo(‘charset’); ?>” />
<title> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> » Blog Archive <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>
<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”/images/favicon.ico” type=”image/image/x-icon”>
<link rel=”icon” href=”/images/favicon.gif” type=”image/gif”>
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?>” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />
<!–[if lte IE 6]>
<link href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/ie6.css” type=”text/css” rel=”stylesheet” />
<![endif]–>
<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> RSS Feed” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’); ?>” />
<link rel=”pingback” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘pingback_url’); ?>” />
<style type=”text/css” media=”screen”>
</style>
<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>
<body>
<div id=”wrapper”>
<div id=”masthead”>
<div id=”masthead_image”>
<img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/masthead01.png” alt=”colortude” />
</div>
</div>
<div id=”content” class=”clearfix”>
The critical part didn’t make it through. Try posting code/markup between backticks (`) or highlight and use the [code] button.
I think the relevant snippet should look something like:
<div id="masthead">
<ul>
<li <?php if(is_front_page()) { ?>class="current_page_item"<?php } ?><a href="<?php bloginfo('url');?>">Blog Home</a></li>
<?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=' ); ?>
<div id=”masthead”>
<li <?php if(is_front_page()) { ?>class=”current_page_item”<?php } ?`>>/”>Blog
Home`
<?php wp_list_pages(‘sort_column=menu_order&title_li=’ ); ?>
<div id=”masthead_image”>
The Blog Home seems to be out of place compared to your code. The links are working I just lost the rollover bkgrd image. Weird.
See my post above for the correct code.
Thanks for helping me. I just want a damn blog : )
