 * Hi,
 * There are lots of queries about how to add a link to a header graphic, but I 
   can’t seem to find the answer I’m looking for. I’m using the theme Journalist,
   which doesn’t have a header div. Instead, I’ve got the image in my #container
   H1 div. Can anyone recommend how I would add a link to that image? My url is:
   [http://www.26mertonroad.com/](http://www.26mertonroad.com/)
 * Thank you so much.
    ps I’m a newbie, so please be specific when telling me where
   to put lines of code.

 * You already have a graphic in your header area…

 * Yes, I have a graphic. I would like to add a link to that graphic to make it 
   link back to the homepage. Any suggestions? Thanks!

 * Drop a copy of your theme’s header.php file into the [WordPress pastebin](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/)
   and post the pastebin url here.

 * Then edit style.css and change:
 *     ```
       #container h1 a {
           color: #FF3300;
           text-decoration: none;
           visibility: hidden;
       }
       ```
   
 * to:
 *     ```
       #container h1 a {
       color: #FF3300;
       text-decoration: none;
       display:block;
       height:300px;
       width:950px;
       }
       container h1 a span {
       display:block
       position:absolute;
       top:-9999px;
       left:-9999px;
       }
       ```
   
 * That should do it.

 * OK, that’s awesome. That works perfectly…except for one big glaring problem. 
   Now I have a big grey box right under the header. Please take a look. [http://www.26mertonroad.com/](http://www.26mertonroad.com/)

 * OK, nevermind, I figured it out, it was my footer that somehow got up in there
   and was stretched out really tall. Anyway, it’s all good. Thanks for helping 
   me out with this banner link. I’ve been tearing my hair out trying to get it 
   to work for the last 2 days. Take care!

 * I suggest you start by getting rid of the banner markup you added.

 * Oh wait, one more little thing. It shows the name of the blog at the top left
   corner of the banner now… how do I get rid of that?

 * Sorry – there was a typo in the second CSS block above. It should be:
 *     ```
       #container h1 a span {
       display:block;
       position:absolute;
       top:-9999px;
       left:-9999px;
       }
       ```

 * Aha, and it was missing a semi-colon after the display:block
 * It’s perfect now. No more mark-up. Thanks again!
