How do you make the header image link to the homepage of your blog?
-
I want the image at the top of my website to link to musicthatkeepsyouupatnight.wordpress.com, but I’m not sure how. Is there a way to edit the html? Thanks.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
No we cannot edit the php underlying our themes which creates HTML on the fly.

You made your blog title “nothing”, probably to eliminate the redundancy of having both the title in text and in the image header.
Well, actually the text blog title IS the home page link in many themes. Plus, it allows your blog to be searchable by title on Google.
Perhaps you might want to look into a theme where you can hide the blog title and still get a custom image header. There are several of them out there.
-
Take a look at this post by Panos which shows which themes give you the option to hide the text.

You can use typekit fonts here.

I don’t know exactly what you mean by “custom font” If you are expecting to be able to click a button and change fonts throughout your blog then it’s not that easily done. There are 4 ways to change fonts on wordpress.com blogs.(1) Changing font colors and size on posts or pages either post by post or page by page http://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/font-size-color/
(2) Changing font colors using the #4 icon http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-2
(3) Changing font families using TypeKit Fonts http://typekit.assistly.com/customer/portal/articles/6840-using-typekit-with-wordpress-com
(4) Changing font families, colors & sizes by purchasing an annually renewable CSS editing upgrade and doing the work yourself
http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-css/Note: You may not like the fonts supplied your wordpress.com theme but it’s important to know that regardless which fonts you may wish to choose to jazz up your blog with, your browser and your visitors’ browsers can only use the fonts installed in the same computer. Obviously not every visitor to your blog will have the same fonts installed in their computers as you do on yours, so you can immediately see that problems will arise unless you choose to use common fonts.
If a reader does not have a specific font installed on his / her computer, the browser will determine which font is displayed. There are a very limited number of fonts (in English/Western languages) which are common for most operating systems/computers/browsers.

I have done this on website before using CSS, and it will be compatible with everyone’s computer. I have the .TTF file hosted on the web, and I can put a few lines into the CSS. I wanted to change just the title font, if possible.
-
Web browsers pull fonts from the computer of the visitor. If they do not have that font installed on their computer, then the browser will substitute its standard “serif” or “sans-serif” font and your visitors will never see it. Fonts aren’t “embedded” in web pages. If you want an “out of the ordinary” font, you have to use typekit here at wordpress.COM.
Also, take a look at this link to see fonts that are commonly installed on all OS’.

I understand how web browsers obtain fonts for websites; however, it is possible to use a font that is not installed on the users computer. I do it on websites that I create, and I have never installed the fonts on my own computer. You do it using the following CSS:
@font-face {
font-family: cool_font;
src: url(‘cool_font.ttf’);
}I see that it is not possible to use this without paying for a CSS upgrade, so I will be unable to do this. Thanks for the help.
-
You can put it in, but the readers can’t see it. It will default to the users’ default font, usually Times New Roman.
-
That code would not work here even if you had the CSS upgrade. It will be stripped out by wordpress.COM. Our only source for fonts outside of wordpress.COM is typekit.
