Can I add a URL to our blog header?
-
Hi,
I want to include a link to our website in our blog header. Is is possible to do this? If so, how do I do it?
Thanks for any help.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The answer depends on whether your blog is self-hosted or hosted on WordPress.COM. Give us a link to your blog, starting with http://

Hi,
I would like to know the answer to this myself. I am new here and I do not know anything about websites. I am just a beginner, and it is rough.

Thanks Lorri -
@slorri23, if you are wanting to change the image at the top of the blog, you can do that under appearance > custom header image. If you are wanting to put an image into the blog title above the header image (Gabriella’s Posts) then that is not possible here. The blog title field does not accept HTML.

Page titles will accept HTML links, though.
<a href="URL_HERE">TITLE_HERE</a>
The title name must include a space.
Some themes don’t handle this well (Digg3, for example makes sort of a double tab so the title doesn’t appear, though the link works). -

@taxcient-by default every theme header on WordPress.COM is a link back to the “homepage” of the blog, so no, you can’t link to your non-WordPress.COM site that way.
But, there are two things you can do. The first is to place the link in a text widget and place it in a prominent spot in your blog’s sidebar, at the top. The RSS feed widget you currently have there now is honestly rather pointless since it is displaying the current blog post, which already appears as the first thing anyone sees when they land on your blog.
The second thing you can do is make a new Page which will appear in your blog navbar, but make the navbar tab link to your main site. The instructions for doing this appear in various places around the forums, but try this one:
