  Hello :)

  How can I make my header active, so that people can click on it and return to the start of the blog?

  Thanks, Denice

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  This can be done in various ways. I think the easiest way is to take advantage of the blog title, since it’s already a link to your homepage and already in the right area. So first go to Appearance > Header, check the option “Show header text with your image”, click Save Changes.

  Hi Justpi,
  that doesn’t work since I don’t have a blog title, only the header image. Any other suggestion?
  Thanks a lot, Denice

  When you don’t want the title to show in the header area, the right thing to do is hide it by unchecking the option I mentioned above. Having no title at all is extremely bad for search engines. So first go to Settings > General, enter a title in the Site Title field, save changes (and don’t uncheck the option in Appearance > Header); then I can turn it into what you’re looking for.

  Thanks for your reply… But I still don’t know how to make my header active without having to activate my blog title? :) Thanks, Denice

  Repeating: go to Settings > General and enter a title in the Site Title field so I can turn it into what you’re looking for. You won’t see the title after I give you the right CSS.

  Sorry for being a bit slow. I’ve done as instructed and would be very happy to have the CSS code :)

  Thanks, Denice

  Er, you added the title but then you went to Appearance > Header and hid it. So we’re back to square one: go to Appearance > Header, check the option “Show header text with your image”, click Save Changes.
  (I’m online now, so don’t worry, your title will only be visible for a few minutes.)

  Add this in the CSS editor:

  .site-title a {
      display: block;
      font-size: 0;
      height: 195px;
      left: 93px;
      position: absolute;
      top: 59px;
      width: 430px;
  }

  This will create a link over the visible part of your image only. Would you prefer a full-width one?
