OK, I’m still struggling. I created a static graphic and placed it in my images folder for the theme “yourblog-20-theme” (it seemed to be a very popular theme).

I’m trying to put the image up using HTML before the loop as shown below:

<?php get_header(); ?>

	<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">
<img src="images/banner1.bmp" alt="Submit earmark story" border="0" align="middle">

	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

But all that gets shown in the alt text. I eventually want to hyperlink this banner to a static page on the blog.

Again, thanks for the kind assistance.

I have no problem creating the graphic, but I don’t understand how to place it in the template file. I don’t want it in a post, it has to be ‘sticky’ and always able to be seen by viewers no matter where they are in the blog.

Thanks.
